The spring thaw reveals
Her naked body
Like a sculpture in ice
A snowy mountain
Out on the ocean
Glows in the night
O what a sight
Aurora Borealis
No quilted blanket
To keeps her cold at night
Under Northern Lights
The Northern Lights
In Arctic seas she dwells
Slowly melting
Softly drifting away
When she broke free
From the ice shelf
I thought she would sink
Into herself
Aurora Borealis ...
Now that you’ve broke free
Lady Iceberg
Don’t you miss the geese migrating?
In the winter
Frozen together
Don’t you need something to cling to in the storm?
Like a quilted blanket
To keep you warm at night
Under Northern Lights
Northern Lights
