So much left unseen

So much left unseen

The surface unbroken

By what lies hidden

A monolith of such

Incomparable depth

Continuing to drift

Unchecked

A gradual demise

Unremarkable

Even unto its conclusion

Barely a ripple

As it disappears

Into the dark.

What was missed

It was big enough to see

Well used by wildlife

A home for many

Sheltered from the worst

Of the weather

Even as it died

In salutary silence

Leaving nothing but

Its remains

Dissolved into the ocean

Another statistic

For the bean counters

What would it mean

If the iceberg was me

So much

Sight unseen

We are all adrift

Untethered

Will progress be charted

Imperceptible changes monitored

Before what remains

Unremarked upon

Finally slips

Into the deep
