Monolithic sphinxes
Bask in sunset rays
While I bask in the presence
Of geological time
Bask in sunset rays
While I bask in the presence
Of geological time
Feeling
very small
and finite
Feeling
very small
and finite
With twists and turns
I’m never sure
Just where
The road takes me
Whether that passion be God
Or Gaia
An ideal
Or a cause
Beauty
Or love
I may have to step
Through many doorways
To find its source
Sights, sounds, smells
Unlike anywhere else
In a country
Unlike anywhere else
They come to rise up
Then to speed down
To glide on silken slopes
The graceful arc of edges
