Castle of Ice

The thought is a lonely air;

The thinkers so much so.

More thicket than the mind can bear,

More breath that can cease with blow.

-

Unanswered questions build castles of ice,

Clear enough to see beyond.

But with silent circumscribing the price

and an ocean to drown is their mere pond.

-

With no place for tears or pain,

for, in this world no man sees.

Only clenches hearts to just stay sane,

Unable to solely pay the fees.

-

I wish they'd know where I dwell.

But still, they laugh as I have their minds.

There's no soul to which to try to tell

This castle holds me in its lonely binds.

    Looks like we get similarly melancholic and cross that with frozen weather. Very emotional. I loved it.
