Glaciers

Glaciers, they are a one-off gift

Their melting is creating a rift

If only our heart could melt faster

For nature, we are dependent on its pasture

Drop by drop, glacial tears thaw

Leaving behind land, rough and raw

Lucky are those who drink its waters

Before their mammoth beauty is slaughtered

There is a glacier within waiting to melt

In its waters, every emotion can be felt

When the mind is in the midst of icy indifference

There will only be a selfish preference

By letting the outer remain, the inner begins to flow

The gift we leave behind for future generations will grow

Even the fiery sun has compassion for our glaciers

If only it could melt glacial minds revealing true nature
