Ice crystal's beauty, <br />In a forgotten passage; <br />The roughness of infinity, <br />In a fiery afterimage. <br />The mystic of the dark, <br />Flowing with the mist; <br />Drifting light and spark, <br />Twilight's evening twist. <br /> <br />Ice and fire contrast, <br />The boundary of each; <br />Showing deep its cast, <br />Something to overreach. <br />Playful in the moonlight, <br />Expressing the flashes; <br />Inner structure anthracite, <br />Wall to wall airspaces. <br /> <br />Ice water reflection, <br />Within indecisive walls; <br />The underlying connection, <br />From within giants halls. <br />Mystic of polymorphous, <br />Sculptures of phantoms; <br />The beauty and fragileness, <br />Of metaphor inside atoms.<br /><br />Peter S.
