Far below
A dam built down a ways
The Colorado
Takes a pause
Between a hundred million days
The Colorado
Takes a pause
Between a hundred million days
Like here, where the fires burned
In Yellowstone
And the sky shone purple
Above the sun’s yellow, turned
But time itself wields no might
But for agents of change
Like the workings of nature and her creatures
As if you are there, at the dawn of life
Watching nature stir her organics
Casting upon them the spells
Which will make matter sentient
Sometimes it is difficult to know
A sunrise from a sunset
The coming of the light
From the gathering darkness
There is beauty in both
And what will come
Will come
So best to appreciate the moment
But… Oh! If I could choose
Choose anywhere in the world
It would be here, I’d live
In that dark house by the sea
But looking deeply into the past
Offers no more clarity
Than looking forward
