Here & There
If you look closely into the
deep woods the trees
are younger between
where you stand
in scree, at the bottom of a
rock face and that
giant stone the size
of a car.
It must have fallen from it’s place
some decades ago
in one
outrageous crashing.
outrageous crashing.

the rocks too-
younger when
they fall.
And us 🙂
Lol…..happy June, dustin 🙂
I like the way that first stanza makes my mind roll around what it means. 🙂
a brief but effective meditation on the beauty and unpredictability of the natural world, thanks for sharing!
I can picture it.
A lovely snapshot poem.
I’d cut “giant” since you give the stone’s size more precisely with “the size / of a car.” Also lost the apostrophe in “it’s” (line 9).
Thank you. That’s great feedback !!
Coleman, I believe I’ve seen that rock near your place! I can hear its “outrageous crashing”. You capture such beauty in the wilderness around you.
