Glimmer of Frost 
My experience with silver and gold, 
Just a sliver, so cold. 
Der Winter ist kalt, 
Where the wealth of winter glows, 
A glimmer of frost, 

In a landscape of frozen dreams: 

Treasures sparkle under the frost, 
Promises turn to ice, 
In the heart of cold wealth, 
Leaving a touchless beauty, 
An allure that chills to the core.

Oh, that is quite sad to hear. But poets like artists in general could be like that. As for myself, I try to be warm, it is the way my mother taught me. Sounds lame, perhaps. But that's the way it was and it seems to have stuck.  Thanks again for gracing this page.
