The Ice Sculpture

Severin Graczyk

The cold and lazy lake, barely moving

Sits and waits

It waits for the fish to swim through

It waits for the people to step in

It waits for the ice to melt

To return to itself

 

The ice as fragile as glass

Sits and waits

It waits for itself to melt

It waits to see the sun

It waits to feel the heat

 

The ice melts

The lake starts to feel warm

Again
