Moraine
A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) that occurs in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions on Earth (i.e. a past glacial maximum), through geomorphological processes. Moraines are formed from debris previously carried along by a glacier and normally consist of somewhat rounded particles ranging in size from large boulders to minute glacial flour. Lateral moraines were formed at the side of the ice flow and terminal moraines at the foot, marking the maximum advance of the glacier. Other types of moraine include ground moraines, till-covered areas with irregular topography, and medial moraines which formed where two glaciers met.
Characteristics
Moraines may be composed of debris ranging in size from silt-sized glacial flour to large boulders. The debris is typically sub-angular to rounded in shape. Moraines may be on the glacier’s surface or deposited as piles or sheets of debris where the glacier has melted. Moraines may also occur when glacier- or iceberg-transported rocks fall into a body of water as the ice melts.

Wrapped Up In Love
by: Marie HinesWrapped Up In Love
2010 Marie Hines
You rode a horse and wore your armor proudly
Let down my hair to make a way for you
To climb into the sky and catch the cloud that I’ve been dreaming on
Pulling petals at my window, I’ll be
Singing my songs to the man on the moon
And counting fireflies that dot the canvas of the starry night.
What more can I say? Oh, oh it’s you who’s made me this way, I’m
Wrapped up like a bow
Wraps up the unknown
Twisted, tangled in our fairytale
Wrapped in your arms
Trapped in your heart
Wrapped up in love
(Oh, oh, oh…)
Slurring sonnets like love drunk poets
Take a sip, pass the glass around
Til we fall out of time, lost in a rhyme
It’s so easy being me when I’m with you
What more can I say? Oh, oh it’s you who’s made me this way, so I’m
C (x2)
We’re more than raw emotion
It’s not a temporary high
We could crash down from
We’re made of our emotion
Building castles in the sky
You and me, how could it be we’re
C (breakdown)
C (x2)
I’m wrapped up
So wrapped up
Twisted, tangled, I’m so
Wrapped up in you
