Nature is Falling

Thoughts and observations near Black Rock Glacier, Alaska

Ice is falling from Black Rock Glacier.
It began with a sudden loud crackling boom; when I turned to see the ice was already dropping.
It had gathered enough momentum and force,
to crash into the sea,
exploding and uplifting a cloudy, icy cloud,
while barely leaving a ripple
on the water's surface.
A few more seconds passed, the icy debris settled and seemingly, it seemed, as if nothing had happened. What remained was the floating ice, the eery silence, and the warm Alaskan summer breeze.

Nature is Falling

Ice is falling
from Black Rock Glacier.

It began with a sudden loud
crackling boom;
when I turned to see
the ice was already dropping.

It had gathered enough
momentum and force,
to crash into the sea,
exploding and uplifting a cloudy,
icy cloud,
while barely leaving a ripple
on the water's surface.

A few more seconds passed,
the icy debris settled
and seemingly, it seemed,
as if nothing had happened.

What remained
was the floating ice,
the eery silence,
and the warm Alaskan
summer breeze.
