Life On The Ice

The winds of change blow
In across the arctic waste land
As the light fades out of sight
And a multitude of colour
Comes and fills the sky

The polar bear makes ready
to sleep for the longest night

While the walrus takes a moment
to rest upon the icy shore
Then he is of to catch some shellfish
That he had the day before

The reindeer head south
To wait out the longest night
Where the grass is always greener
On the other side

The arctic hares
Run along the ice
Foraging for food
Upon the longest night
