A maze. The tale of the winter forest

The friends stood at the hole. They saw
a maze with walls from clear ice.
Ones looked like mirror face. They glowed,
and showed reflections, multiplied
a lot of times. Those shadows drove
them mad at all. The sight stole words.

Strong Nils and Bee just looked. Faint light
was seeping through small clefts above.
They had not any choice besides
of going there... And big ice slides
were strangely rushing, muddling ways.
All passageways were very cramped.

It was ice hell... The friends couldn't guess
where was the exit. Twisty paths
too often led to ice dead end.
The friends were striking very hard
against cold walls. It seemed they'll die
in this forgotten place from ice...
