Deep inside the Earth
Fire and water converge
Vapour in the sky
Fire and water converge
Vapour in the sky
Is this the dawn of time?
Or apocalypse?
The beginning of life?
Or the end of it?
Were I to climb out
Upon this leafless bough
Would I be
Of Lilliputian dimension
Saw blades
Of rock
And ice
Lifted into sky
I am reminded
Earth is a very small place
And I
I am a very small man
But I stand here, now
Beyond so many
Impassable barriers
All along the way
Layer upon layer
Of silt
Of time
Accumulating
Reminds me
Of Saturday morning
After a long week of long days
