I gaze in amazement
At the icicles hanging from the tree,
                     glistening with life

For one brief moment
I am suspended in time
Able to let go of all my strife
By seeing how they dazzle with infinite beauty
    and unknowable wisdom
Of their being able to just be

As I look more deeply
My eyes wondrously see
How the full moon catches them
At just the right angle
    and with just enough light
To give me a new view
Of how beautiful Winter truly can be
By simply letting go of what is untrue
