Glaciers

Not really a poem but it didn't fit any of the others types. Anyways, I wrote this to go along with a piece for our Spring Band Concert.

The swift, freezing air rushes by all around.  Snow is falling down in all directions.  Yet it is silent as the sun barely beats down on the newly forming glacier, the ice glistening in the sun as if little, tiny fairies were dancing around on its surface.  The glacier begins to form where the snow and ice accumulation exceeds the snow and ice melt.  This occurs over the course of years as the glacier slowly moves across the sea.  And then, in the dead of night, the glacier begins to approach a mountain.  Having no control over the movement of the sea, the glacier crashes into the mountain.  As it does so, huge sections of it break off into the depths of the sea.  The current of the sea changes though and not long after, the glacier is already beginning to build itself back up again as the snow beats down against the melting ice.
