Poetry: “Icicle”

Another poem born from an image that made an impression.

***~***~***~***

Icicle

 

Stalactite you might be called

If found inside a cave

But you reside within the light

The light that shapes you so

 

You are not wanted, not at all

Mankind, they fear your growth

They fear that you might fall down

And break upon some head

 

But I, I see your beauty

You inner crystal heart

Which sparkles in the sunlight

Forms rainbows in the air

 

And best of all is that I know

You are born when things grow mild

When snow begins to drip drip down

That’s when icicles are formed
