from molten earth...fragile form arose...stacked stone balance...teetering on the edge...misty sky...clouds and flower shadows doze...a monarch flits....a fleeting...fragile pledge...crows...dark against the muted gray...search for a feast...a meal of carrion grace...squirrel rumages in a playful fray....beneath moss-grown ancient rocky place....each stone...holding history untold...this silent scene...a moment's peace...suspended timeless sleep...
