Walking On Thin Ice

A shiver ran through my waist and thighs, 

The faint blue light of the morning sun 

The melting ice bed 

Makes the horse withdraw its heartbeat. 

Like newly acquainted lovers, 

We were a pair of white birds on the crest of a wave. 

The faint blue light shimmered on the lily. 

Cautiously I held my silence.
