THE FAR AWAY LAND
Strands
floating,
reaching out –
hair in a breeze,
holding onto cliffs,
their jagged angles like
shards of glass, all broken and
sprinkled with hot ice that can burn
exposed shivering fingers and toes;
where whispering winds steal my breath away.

Thank you. I hate extremely cold days- I lose circulation to my extremities at the best of times, so biting cold devours my digits with little sympathy! 🥶
