outside the glass door
Lo we met , face to face
an icy embrace
sending shivers deep inside
coat collar rolled up,tight
pushed back against the tide
an icy embrace
we kept walking slowly
unseen force engulfed
pulled controlled coldly
an icy embrace
someone cried 'O Jesus'
and I knew how cold he
felt, as he bowed and knelt
to the icy embrace
O Aeolus thou wast kind
but Sleep conquered mind
Greed left All Good behind
an icy embrace
man must know this
is the best unseen gift
Nature's Power to uplift
Life in an icy embrace
cold or warm it is good
wind it is as understood
fly sail breathe,no falsehood
though
an icy embrace

This really chills me. An 'icy embrace' does not feel pleasant at all. Some really descriptive writing here.
The refraining line of the icy embrace gave me the chills but such is the reality of life ~ We embrace the good and the bad as the wind ~ Thanks for joining ing ~
oh I have met that stiff wind before that cuts you right to the bone...it rushes in that open door coming right for you...and it makes for a nice metaphor as well....I felt this
The winds of March is so often an icy embrace.. but what a wonderful bliss it is to find some lee facing the sun.. March has so many faces.
Brrrr - that cold embrace does makes one drop to ones knees. And loved bringing in the wind keeper Aeolus - very nice!
you've captured that icy wind - that stills love itself ( through icy hands )
burr... :)
Dear Friends Thank you so much - this poem reflects real life experience of winter in the UK 2003 The prompt stirred up the memories and March has its variety of moods.
I like the repeated refrain -- though I'm happy we don't have that icy embrace happening where I live. Peace, Linda
oh I love this... an icy embrace isn't always pleasant, but sometimes it is needed, so we continue to appreciate warmth.
Thank you Linda Thank you Anthony
The repetition of the line, icy embrace...adds so much to this already descriptive poem. And it is true - in the wind there are no falsehoods! Hayes Spencer is Kanzensakura
