Ice Crystals

	Sheets of ice, rivers of frozen glass.
	Crystal spires, sparkling with light.
	Singing with their fragile, silvery voices.
	Frigid water, molded by the winds;
	Wind and weather, both form it together,
	Into the cold, clear beauty of icicles.
	The jewels in the crown of the Winter Queen--
	Liquid jewels, diamonds in the snow.
	Nature's prisms, holding captive rainbows.
