Snow Bird

Bird of ice
Bird of snow,
Born of cold
I shine below,

The sky,
The sun,
To both of which,
I belong

Oh how I long,
To be free
Of this,
Chilly embrace

A need of the sun,
I have not,
For I light the dark,
From within
My ice-light,
Shining bright

Wings of ice
Feathers of snow,
Claws of wind
Eyes of sky,
Beak of darkest night,

Winter embodiment

Embrace the ice,
Embrace the sky,
Reaching for the sun,
I fly.
