Bright is the light dancing through the rich brown trunks. White and blue sky everywhere all at once. Organics decaying, granite eroding, cracking under sun, under snow, under acid needles always falling. The pine canopy coarsely brushes the air as a breeze rushes through, listen and you can hear every needle. Everywhere white and blue sky. Everywhere promise and comfort.
The rock At first resistant The wind The rain Find a small edge to catch The rock holds on Gets harder The edges sharper Like razors Cutting the wind Catching moisture like sails now Little pocks holding rain Dissolving Evaporating The rock Breaks down Smaller and smaller pieces Eventually your foot Can sink And drag With no edge to cut Or mass to blunt Something beautiful Something forgiving Is all that is left Eventually flowers grow Clinging at first Then bedding down Roots take hold Life and love possible From something unforgiving Unapologetic
