What am I? and Frozen

What am I? by Katherine Teele

Open.

I fill your scorching months with serenity

I am the highlight to your all American Summer

On grounds made of crystals, I tug at your feet breathlessly

Alluring you respectively

Whimsical, wise, wholesome.

Captivating.

Bodies are sung asleep cooly to my rhythm

I will greet you with open arms in the unbordered mornings

The peace found in my own collision

White clouds of matter fill your vision

Evocative.

Azure, ambient, alluring.

The moon dances with me

Dragging me in exaggerated, extraterrestrial patterns

Impermanence is fact, but I will never leave

Find me active from noon to midsummer’s eve

Animated.

Vital, velvety, vast.

Blue like sky because the sky is in me

Green like grass because the grass is in me

White like the moon because the moon is in me

Some try to paint me with a price, but I’ll always be free

Natural.

Ethereal, earnest, enchanting

Nature can make me powerful many miles ahead

I am as dangerous or as safe as one dares me to be

Some decide not to risk it instead

I am breathtakingly dead

Scary, sacred, safe.
