Iceman

In a room of ice stands a man
frozen to the floor
His hands outstretched in endless plea
for warmth he'll feel no more

Ice crystals sparkle
beautiful, unfeeling
silent unforgiving
his fate securely sealing

In his unseeing open eyes
the longing for the sun still lies
and cold parched lips, no hint of breath
silence reigns as still as death

Ice crystals are forming
rigid and unyielding
binding dreams, hopes
heartbeat stilling

Ice crystals sparkle
beautiful, unfeeling
silent unforgiving
his fate securely sealing
