The Frigid Peak

Frozen and bright the sun reflects off the ice cold powder
Blinding everyone from the bottom
No life, bones scattered at the top
Deadly low temperatures
Anything and everything still
Trapped inside Ice that’s as strong as titanium
Life has yet to exist

Island to Island

Waves splashing, breeze not to strong or lightSand scorching from the sun beating down on it all day
Trees filled with the purest of green leaves
Get in the water and start to swim
Salt so strong it makes my vision blurry
Land ahead
Shade appears out of thin air
Sand is Ice cold, no waves splashing or making any noise
Leaves the color of burnt Orange
