The Story of a Glacier

–by Amanita Sen

–Reading Time – 1 min Approx

Icicles of some frozen memories

in the ocean of time,

turns to a glacier–

stately, somber, mountain-like,

fathomlessly deep,

feeling the dark body of the ocean

with a helpless desperation

that only a glacier can feel.

 

It catches in the prism of its chest,

the frolic of the sunlight

and the smile of the moon.

it sings the song of silence,

and sheds its tears

in the breast of the sea.

 

Wakefully alert with

the memory of a wreck,

it prays for ships to steer past it

and not write again

the story of going asunder.
