• Close my eyes and breathe in.

    Now exhale

    and let the heat of breath

    dance on the chill of night.

    Some thoughts

    will freeze in place

    and others...

    others will twinkle like tiny ice crystals

    glittering in winter's dark.

    Standing perfectly still,

    but for the occasional shiver.

    Knowing through it all,

    that the inner-dance

    is a thing of mysterious beauty.
