In a world set between
The terrestrial and aerial
Ever so slowly descending
Dynamics impercievable
Flows ancient icey rivers
Streaming in snowy shawls
Frigid thaws beneath
A domain of rivelets goes
Tricking and torrid roaring
Beneath an azure frosted dome
A sphere aglow in varied hues
Alit as if twilight eternal
Passages below frozen depth
Carpeted in weight-worn stone
Milled with time and turning
An ever-changing world
Cracking, creaking, growling
This crystalline kingdom
Mimicking heaven's gates
Orbiting clouds of white
The blue skies so near
River's flowing life's tide
Polished pebbles a bed
Those floating in a cosmos
Like planets of a universe
Boundless and astonishing
A temporal duplication
For subcelestial cognition
This glacieral sphere
Sensual, yet still severe
