The frost maiden

High in the majestic mountains of Mulhara
There is a hidden castle
Tucked away within the frozen rock
A place of endless silence
In unchanging courtly elegance
Awakening to the wintry morning sun
The frost maiden
Gazes out her tower window
This icy palace is all she's ever known
With its turrets and towers
Built from mortar and brick
A magnificent inescapable prison
As she ascends upon her throne
From behind the great frigid walls
A frosty breeze catches some ice crystals
And spreads them over the clear morning sky
Her eyes are like slivers of blue glacial ice
Hurling frosted icicles of beauty from her pale white face
Her long alabaster hair, a glowing icy mane
She is the true embodiment of winter itself
Walking out of her ice castle
Through the great iron gates
Into the biting wind
To survey the snowy tundra
First only seeing an avalanche of white
The blistering cold settles deeply into
The deadly ice chasms that reach for the sky
There lying before her in the frozen ground
Peeking out from under a blanket of snow
A crystalline flower made from the purest of snowflakes
Its fragile petals the most beautiful to behold
She lets out a subtle breath of winter and
A thin layer of ice appears upon her moistened lips
Sparkling likediamonds reflecting a ray of sunlight
There is nothing else in her universe
But the shrill call of the winter wind
The tremble of glacial movement under her feet
And the stirring of the icy midnight sky
This delicate maiden with frosted breath
Encased in a fortress of ice
On the wintry wind her whispers ride
To be heard once more
By someone unknown
Somewhere over the mountains
