Winter's Mind

Winter's Mind

A wintery lace enshrouds a pane lodged in a crimson door
Lending inward view reluctantly of gloom but little more
Intrusion be the only course, there's naught observed afar
And hinges moan in deep distress as door is pulled ajar

Beyond a trace of lifeblood's glow, a vault lies fast within
Unseen, unfelt, untouched, unknown - a ghastly quiet den
Secured within; no key without - a puzzle yet unsolved
Rest reasoning and memories - a cardinal link dissolved

A riddle then of more import by far than Jason's quest
To breach the vault, a vital must to end this strange duress
