Old Word Ice and Fire

Glide softly on blades
With ice beneath your feet
And soar on wings of fire.
Though neither would be nice
Some say either would suffice,
To sear blood and memory.

Old dreams, memories, whispers…
But today I look a different way
Facing a foreign shore,
One foot already out the door,
My palms, hands, fingers stretch
Driving to a new horizon.
