Acceptance
ACCEPTANCE
I am a tower of ice
clear and cold
standing tall
yet the day is warm
it is very difficult to reconcile
but that is my one challenge
to you
and to anyone
here on this deserted beach
looking at a disinterested blue lake
on this silent day
yet the far horizon seems to never care
on how was I formed
or became like this
is it time that I melted
none can answer these questions
yet now will I remain frozen for all time
or perhaps I might let the pleasant warmth win
and finally be accepted in this world
can logic be intimate with emotion
