Muffled
Walk the winter shoreline,
And all around you'll view,
A wonderland of sculpture,
Made everyday anew.
Sastrugi stretch their fingers,
Along the frozen sand,
Touching hardened water,
That sleeps against the land.
Soon warmth will release them,
To melt and intertwine,
And our feet will dance there,
With joy verging on Devine.
