An intersection of the plain by the bank of some great stream the animal carcasses and skeletons would be entombed Tomorrow in a year tomorrow in a million years Ages resting in the rings of a tree. Fossils in lay in slate marking the old forest's edge I've stood on a mountain dividing three regions. Then it was just a pebble that I held inside my hand In between each flap of a butterfly's wings, countless changes that have gone on unnoticed A cricket rubs it's forewings together and I am forced to think of the time that it's taken to build
Mountains fossils
Larva lava
As Algae moves through water. Cupping the soil Ages move across epochs. Within my hands There's grandeur in this view, It teams with life a constant succession these endless forms My heart beats 70 times per minute
Stretching out over years a wilderness layer on layer life embedded in stone stretching out before me a wilderness.
