Only Mother Mourns

Morning mist clings to the waters
Grey gauze draping the haunted eyes
Death's chill paints Frost's patterns
A pale so bright white on blue
Ice bursts shatter in minute detail
Fractal portraits in memorial
Shadows play under a sunless sky
A snowflake ballet of tears rains
Frozen daggers drip from the trees
Bloodless drops fall to the ground
Lifeless lies the beggar here
Winter's victim only Mother mourns
