Ice Skaters
Our earth is frozen in stillness . . .

Spinning, Gliding, and Dancing on Ice
The ice dance only happens in the frostiness of winter. 'Neath a sky of blue or haze of gray, a blanket of white covers an autumn landscape of summer past and spring to come. Ponds and lakes lie in a chill of silence. The skaters gather at the edge.
Suddenly the sound of the skate bites the ice as the grind cracks the silence. The skaters glide and spin joyful circles across their frozen stage. Some skate in solemn thought while others crack the whip with glee. Then like the sun upon the earth, the lovers dance, radiating their warmth and devotion arm in arm, heart to heart.
The "First Good Freeze" is eagerly sought,
by those anxious for what winter brought . . .
A "January" day
cold and clear;
Shall we take a skate,
my dear?
"Winter's Gift" we do so love,
blade to ice, like
hand in glove . . .
My "First Lesson" I do recall,
Oops! Look at me, I
took a fall . . .
"A Family of Skaters" I am a part,
wee was I, when I got
my start . . .
"Our Time with the Children"
is so well spent ~
Skating time is
heaven sent . . .
Our "Love and Joy" shared
with all,
spreading warmth and laughter is
our protocol . . .
"A Peaceful Time" brought us even closer,
our heartbeats drummed as if on cue by a
fine composer . . .
A "Lone Skater" sometimes
I am,
spinning in thoughts, reflecting
upon my life so grand . . .
"A Skater's Delight" of emotions
comes over me,
when snowfall comes and a
pond of ice I see . . .
Skater's Romance
Love blossoms on the blade of a skate . . .
"Ice Dancers" embrace, then
spin and spin,
with skates across ice as an arco
on a fine violin . . .
"Skating Dreams" fill our
hearts,
the barren earth becomes
a canvas for our art . . .
"Moonlight Skaters" create a
lunar delight,
the cosmic stars in a purple haze
of night . . .
As "Lover's Dance" along the
row,
skaters in the ambience of
a golden glow . . .
"City Skaters" glide to and fro
in this wintry scene,
'neath the Gateway's mighty river
mezzanine . . .
"By the Light of the Moon"
she skates so fair,
while a secret admirer from afar
watches her . . .
Our "Woodland Wonderland" is so much fun,
we share our love of snow
with everyone . . .
"Skating Harmony" brings us
pause,
for we love each other ~
just because . . .
The "Winter's Memories" we make
and share,
grace our lives and show loved ones
how much we care.
