They told me to steer clear of ice-maidens.
So it was that you were a touch frosty when we met.
Walk away they said when the roses get covered in snow.
But snow-covered flowers signal that a fresh start is on the way.
The sparse beauty of a winter wonderland has much to offer.
And in many aspects snowflakes are like us - imperfect.
They too grow unevenly, in a short span can be broken, melted and refrozen.
If that isn't being human I don't know what is.
Winter does not last forever.
Ice-maidens too have hearts that melt.
