Climate Changed to dry ice (villanelle)

by Michael D Nalley   Mar 3, 2015


Carbon is the base of organic life and coal
A diamond in progress with the right pressure
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul

Earth, wind & fire have played out their natural role
When cloudy frost is gone the ice is clear, for sure,
Carbon is the base of organic life and coal

For all we know precious jewels are at the pole
Where there is a mindful heart filled creature
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul

With such dim light, it would be like a hole
where no eyes receive surprises of such pleasure
Carbon is the base of organic life and coal

With no life or a fossil fuel to burn for a glow
Each ray of light is a treasure to a creature
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul

Footprints far from the giving sun which makes us whole
Could be the doom of mankind with all its allure
Carbon is the base of organic life and coal
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul
