Forming in the freezing,
in the darkness
born into the sunlight
rising, striving,
crystals alive
rising, in motion
a chemical reaction;
Alive, a colony,
a growing together
like seedlings rising
a field of ferns forming
from the dust, the chaos,
rising from the ground,
the crystals at their
birthing;
But a breath, soon ending,
temporal, fleeting,
before the warming,
melting, dissolving
the crystals descending
collapsing, falling, hidden,
returning, back to the dust.
