This ice is melting
The weather is changing,
You see?
No, you can't;
Because it hasn't yet reached 32 degrees
So everything is still frozen
But it's getting so much closer, do you realize?
A week ago it was minus ten, but now it's in the twenties...
I know the snow is still here but,
It's so much closer to melting...
You don't see it yet,
But just a few degrees more and
It will be melting
A few days more and
It will be changing
The water will go running,
And then -
I will be free...
Just a few more degrees
And ice becomes water,
With nothing in between
That's why it is so hard to see.
That change is indeed coming,
For the temperature is rising,
But everything will seem to happen
All of the sudden
When really, it's been coming,
For all these days, and months,
and years
Warmth enough to melt the icebergs
Enough to crack these ancient blocks of tears.
I have been waiting a long time,
But the temperature is rising,
And soon summer will be mine.
