Ice Mistress

What is it about the icy fingers of winter that comforts me? 

Why do I feel at ease with the wind howling at my shutters?

Is it because I feel that chill deep within to a secret place?

Through jacket, through skin, and through flesh she pierces. 

Until I swear I’m longer girl, woman, but pure shining crystal.

Is it that I too feel as though I’m frozen through and through? 

That one mistreatment would shatter me like an ice swan?

No, I am stronger than that now. I do not fear the frigid air. 

I like the winter because she is undeniable, with no escape.
  

She will not bow, she will not relent. She simply is. As am I.
