Unsaturated pastels
Hushed details
Settled sea
Slumbering land
Quiet calm

When life was a mystery, yet to be told
Billions of years ago
On a planet still young
And restless
When rock flowed as liquid
And the only solid lands
Were granite rafts
Floating on a molten orb
Wonder: Awe & Query
At nature’s hand
Both in awe
And as a query
Artist and creator
Of worlds fantastic
And unimagined
By lesser gifts, as mine
Desert Fan
Tenacious flora on the floor
Perpetual winds in the sky
Until rare torrents fall
Tumbling down the mountainsides
Muddy brown and rocky
Sun in the Night
Awakens me from slumbers
Ascending into consciousness
Crisp and cold
The night air
Sounds, sharp and clear
Amplifying presence
The sky will burn with fire
In our cities
When the last of us breathe
Our last breath
The sky will still burn with fire
Every morning
There will be no one to mourn
Our absence
But the emptiness of time
An infinite jest
How crazy it is
This point of consciousness
Travelling through space and time
On a ship of meat and bone
Fearless
I would fail less
Or more
I would never fail
For fear of trying
I would fail
For reaching further
Than I could grasp
Frustration
Nowhere to rest
Details blurred
No clear subject
Frustration
As true in art
As in life
