The Snow Queen

A poem by Megan | 12/31/2007

Incased in snow,
No one knows,
How she got there,
Where she will go,

The coldest forms of "Wisdom",
that "wisdom" brought defeat
Warmth erased the selfish lies,
on the thick and lifeless slate
The harmful words of mine,
put on hateful waste
The sinful kind of sadness,
