How I wish to be like boreal icebergs <br />Who stand mighty against shivering waters <br />As ireful icicles rain down in defense <br />With the painful sting of a bitter cold. <br />How strong and tall are its frigid walls <br />While invidious waves lash against them <br />Snow melts away, but the icebergs stay <br />So solid against the sentient sun <br />Beating down unforgiving heat <br />The icebergs are always on their own <br />Against all earthly things unknown <br />They shall go on forever firm- <br />while the warmest flames waver <br />under the most steady of winds.<br /><br />Kelly Curiel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/icebergs/
