Ice Sailing ©

“No complaints, overwhelmed with blessings”
In winter's grasp, where silence reigns,  
Two boys set forth on icy plains,  
With laughter light and hearts so bold,  
They built a boat from dreams untold.  

The wind it howled, the sun it gleamed,  
On frozen lakes, their spirits streamed,  
With sails unfurled, they danced on air,  
Two friends afloat, without a care.  

The blades beneath, they skimmed the frost,  
In every gust, they felt no cost,  
A world of white, a canvas wide,  
With joy and hope, they took the ride.  

They raced the shadows, chased the light,  
In harmony with day and night,  
Each turn they took, a song they sang,  
In whispered winds, their laughter rang.  

As twilight fell, the stars appeared,  
In icy realms, their dreams endeared,  
Two boys, one boat, a bond so true,  
In winter's heart, the world anew.
