Nature’s Art

Time plays out
On compressed
And shattered
Chasm wall

Mineral
Patina
Like coffee
And tea stains

Nature’s art
An oddly
Beautiful
Rock painting

This week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Change.

This photograph and poem are about the physical changes occurring over geological time, the natural beauty they create as stone patinas with age.
