Melt in the Sun

(soft, whispery start)
I was an ice cube on a plate Cold and quiet, still and straight Molecules were holding tight — Locked in place, all day, all night
Then a window... let the sunshine in... (warm sunbeam) And something wonderful began...
Sun! Sun! Sun! Sending bumps down from the sky! Sun! Sun! Sun! Telling molecules: "Don't be shy!" Wiggle louder, shake it free — Let go gentle, come with me!
Light came pouring, warm and gold Bumping every speck of cold My edges softened, just a tear I was Solidic — now I'm here!
(big anthem chorus) MELT! In the sun! My molecules have come undone! MELT! Every one! Solid turning LiQuid-y fun!
Drip! Drop! On the plate! Puddle growing, can't be late! I'm not gone, I'm just new — Same ol' me, just flowing through!
Popsicles and puddled snow Chocolate in your palm — hello! Crayons left out in the car (uh oh) All the same trick, near and far!
(whisper-out) Same little me... just... flowing now...
Key Concepts: Melting = solid to liquid phase change | Sunlight (heat) bumps molecules faster until they loosen their grip | Same molecules, new arrangement | Examples: ice melting, popsicles, chocolate, crayons in a hot car
Character: Solidic softens and becomes LiQuo | First explicit "Solidic-meets-the-Sun" scene | "Hands let go and start to slide!"
