Icebergs
January 19, 2016
I know so many icebergs.
Small
cold
unforgiving
lonely.
But that's just above water.
Below that arctic surface lies something magnificent.
A thing that hold unforetold beauty.
Of crystalline sculptures
perfected to the last minute detail
and refracted beams of light
darting into the dark majestic blue.
A thing capable of sinking ships
that greatly outnumber its size.
Causing a most beautiful catastrophe.
But most only see a
lonely
unforgiving
cold
small
iceberg.
Oh, and how wrong they truly are.
I know so many icebergs.
