_Glacier_

A sage in the Himalaya
 Since hoary past, Seated in its quiet abode Up on the high
mountains, Deep in meditation Set about shedding its body weight Melting its frame.
Drop by drop, It let go of its form Till it got itself liberated, Into the melt 
of oceanic consciousness Leaving behind on the dreary Terrain of bare Mountains 
The gross, the remains — The skeletal heaps of gravels, The mounds of moraines.
