Global Warming

I was a glacier

Before the white-hot steel shard

Melted me from the core,

Piercing deep, touching my heart.

 

Now I am a pristine tropical sea

Teeming with innumerable life,

And I draw you inside.

You lose yourself in the ebbing tide.

 

Quickly you learn that

There is no controlling this force you have unleashed,

So you just go with the flow

Of the swirling ocean, me.

 

Swimming, exploring inside

You know salt water can never quench this thirst.

Pure joy smile touches sun sweet lips

You're caught up, content, in the glorious surf.
