Detail, Landscape, Olympus OM-2, Poetry

From Earth and Sky

Hot sun and hot water
Cascading down
One revealing
One creating
Terraces of minerals

One from Earth
One from Sky

One from the heavens
One from the core

Beauty impossible
Without each
And my eyes
To see it

Mammoth Hot Springs
Yellowstone National Park
