Ice

The ice melted in the glass

It rose up to the surface to be seen

But quickly melted in the fluid it was in

Sometimes we do that as humans

We rise to the top

Then just disappear

Some stay and float around while

Losing all that they are

Some fight the melt and disperse

Either way, we move into something new

Something unknown and scary

But at the same time, peacefilled

Change is like that

It is scary and frightening

But always needed

A person can not remain stagnant

They can not just tread in the water

Movement in any direction is needed

It can be up and down

Side to side

Front and back

But movement is needed

As with life, you keep moving

Keep moving forward

Keep striving for the next thing to amaze you

The hummingbird saying hello

Like an old friend

A new bloom in the tree

A new bloom in the garden

All viewed as coming and going

Just like me, just like you

Ever growing, ever expanding

Becoming new day by day

The ice never stays ice

It eventually has to change

Just like the human spirit.
