An ice man that knew true love, but was forced to live a life of solitude. |
Come, young child. Come and listen to this upsetting story. It was about a man of ice who once smiled But shed his life’s tears for his life’s glory. The ice man was born In the land between earth and fire. It was there he had sworn That equality he would inspire. So he went to the land between earth and air With family and friends And this is where His time of happiness ends. Hunters came and set fire to their camp. They feared the settlers. The ground became damp With the blood of the residents of the shelters. Only the ice man survived But he found himself alone. Now that love was deprived He could only listen to the wind that had blown. A woman came by With a basket in hand And heard the ice man cry And removed him from the land. She nursed the man to health Because she couldn’t let him die. She hid him with stealth And protected him with every lie. Soon the man fell for the woman. And she felt the same way. They saw each other as human In every little way. One day the man was found And the woman was put to trial. The whole town was rebound; Torn with denial. They would say “Why fall in love with a creature as the man?” The sky went gray And the ice man’s torture began. The woman made up a plan Where she would stay And the ice man Will safely run away. The man rejected. He wanted her to come with him. The woman objected With her face looking grim. She forced him to run So she can take his fate. It was easier said than done, But she ended the debate. The man escaped While the woman remained. In darkness he was draped With memories retained. When the news of her death came out So did the ice man’s tears. His wail came as a spout That was remembered throughout the years. He secluded himself in an abandoned quarry Where he would live in solitude. It was there he wrote this story Under heavy silence. |
