Melting Mayhem

Imagine sailing through the arctic ocean,

Crisp, clear, calm waters.

Monstrous icebergs, imposing backdrop,

Icy surface glimmering like clear glass shards.

Lumbering pearl white shape,

Lone polar bear wanderer,

searching, scanning, stomach rumbling

Searching longer, longer - always longer

CRACK ­- thunderous collapse

SPLASH - huge impact.

Habitat melting, sinking into oblivion.

Feeling warmer, warmer - always warmer

Seals, penguins, habitat

Going, going – GONE!

Our hands affect his paws.

Lone wanderer is not alone.

Our thoughts need our action!

Reduce, respect, replenish.

Open our eyes on our watch.

Follow in our carbon footprint.

Longing hope, hope - always hope
