Antarctica

Barren land of ice and snow
Mountains span unburdened plain
Welcoming the morning glow
Illuminating vast terrain

Icebergs breaking from the shelf
Sailing south for warmer shores
Visions lush in untold wealth
Silencing the oceans roar

White Bear treads forsaken ground
Abiding march through wind and snow
Hunting grounds, forever bound
Seeking fare through ice below

Seabirds scanning high and low
Seeking fish from open sea
Ice too thick to crack below
Thunderous billows break it free

Vicious blizzards, angry storms
Violent gales, blinding snow
Penguins cluster, keeping warm
Storm is here, nowhere to go
