Love like ice

No less than it’s oft quoted

Fiery simile

Fragile crystalline strength

Endures for centuries

Not without change

Glacial movements too slow for the eye

But come back

And the landscape has changed

Sometime it grows

Sometimes it even shrinks

When it is taken for granted

Sharp edges cut

If you don’t watch

Where it moves

Over land or sea

Overshadowing its underside
