Through the tunnel of lights
Into our skates
Laces looped around the shining silver hook
Onto the rink of slippery ice
Sliding along the rim
Across the shimmering glaze
Away from the chattering cloud
Carving swirls within the middle
Among the chilling wind
The frost biting at your fingertips,
But you don’t care,
Because
you are drifting off
Amid the swirling snow
Deep inside daydreams.
Such beautiful imagery! We’re right there with you as you come out onto the ice, experiencing the beauty (and the cold) of that moment. Wow.
