Day One

the first day of earth

Still..........among rocks

lasting 5,000 eras.

Silence humming

           in the stone's ear.

Movement tipped.............a wink of horizon,

Day one on Earth as stillness moved none.

Yes I wish my presence there was real. Often time when photographing landscapes I try to imagine all the influences the location experienced in some random fashion and culminating in the moment I'm capturing it. Thank you all for your encouraging words. I do feel reading other works here help my writing.

As if the earth opened her eyes and stood in perfect stillness taking it all in. I feel that I should whisper my response.

i liked this it was a good short read, worth way more than what it took to read it. I really liked this

i like how you describe it...and it makes me wish i had been there to actually see it...just imagine how interesting it would have been to see it all created day by day....wow...

i like the phrase, "as stillness moved none"---
