Natural Nobility
I watched the glacier slowly drip...
Then crack... and slip beneath the sea.
For forty years she disappeared,
A nameless, melted dynasty.
But on a breezy, cloud-lit day,
Ten thousand measured miles away,
The sun pierced through the fractured blue;
Then something drifted into view.
A floating singularity,
Most certainly nobility,
Now lost upon the skyward sea,
Her Majesty... still marching on...
Still searching for Eternity...
