Icy cold, your touch is hard
you hold us with a billion shards
like frozen stars of dreams and ice
the night is yours inside our lives

Then one day you suddenly
let life shine through like fluttering
of wings still shivering but slowly breathing
your green and gold inside us seeding

Life and love that grows to bloom
with each passing of the silver moon
till one day when all is wake
from earth and stone to tree and lake

Then you let us dream and yearn
for all the life too soon to burn
so quickly into the passionate red
of a fire that is all but dead

Still alive but with the mellow heat
of the afterglow of lovers meet
you bring us near as if to hinder
us from fearing the comming sinder

So soon to cover the realm like before
with your brilliant cold of stars once more
