The River

The deep blue river
Feels as ice it were pure ice.
The lush green forest
Protecting the river
The tall pines smell of the winter
Snow on the ground
Like a frozen layer over the ground
Like magic
When touched it disappears
The icy river reaches for the sky
But
F
A
L
L
S
And is frozen in place
When the sun comes
The snow goes
And the pines grow bigger
