A halt. The tale of the winter forest

The smell of freedom charmed the friends.
They were few minutes to the end
of the ice maze. There was blue shade
on the huge piles: the bluish trace
of the bright sky in winter time.
The friends were rushing to the light.

The light was leading like a star.
It shone pronouncly with each
short speeding step. And one slim aisle
was filled with the turquoise ink.
It was the color of the hope
and a few steps released the both.

The strength had come to smiling friends.
They made a halt, not going far.
Nils reached the kettle from the bag,
filled it with snow and thawed above
the fire heat. Bee got cold core*
and threw in water. Meal had earned!
