Thursday photo prompt: Frozen #writephoto

 

This week, Sue’s word is Frozen and the stunning image shows a pink and frosty dawn and a path of cracked ice leading towards the horizon…

Evening sun dips

Hiding behind this frozen land

Bathing the ancient fjord

In the pink and purple hues of twilight

This narrow strip of ice, melting its way to the sea

Across the burnt-out bones of a long-forgotten woodland

the echoes of yesterday may still be heard

beside the cracking ice, this frozen pathway beckons.

what if I follow, lose myself to the melt waters?

would my soul return with the next snowfall?

    Wonderful, Anita. For some reason it made me think of Robert Holdstock’s ‘Mythago Wood’. x
