Frozen lava, heart imprisoned,
Groaning ‘neath its bitter chains.
Winter threatens its extinction,
Freezing hope that dares remain.
Volcanism’s flow resurges,
Only to be petrified;
Magma’s tender chambers stiffen,
lock the gift of warmth inside.

Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
But the glow is still there waiting for its time.
Right! ‘This too shall pass…’
Melody, I love that blue sky in the background – it really sets off the beautiful warm colors of the “frozen lava”. My favorite line is “Freezing hope that dares remain.” We are consumed by life’s lava without it!

Amazing title. That is just such a thought-provoking image, “frozen lava.”
Thank you! (I thought I had already replied to this one, but it popped up as not – so if you got 2 responses, ignore the least beautiful of them, will you?) 🙂
Gorgeous–photo, and word play.
Thank you Caddo! You always seem to ‘get’ me..
I love the ending line! Your poems are keeping my mind and heart warm this winter, stirring up inspiration! Thank you!
🙂 Yay! Thanks Debbie!
