Something New

Everything continues as it has
until it doesn’t,
water flows downhill
until it won’t,
dinosaurs sleep in ice
with green grass in their teeth,
fearless armies march
to Napoleon’s latest ditch.
Then the long pause
while power gathers
within the sleeping earth,
giants awaken and stars come to life
with songs of something new.

    Having just come off a “RAW” weekend training in ID, the wildness, beauty and “newness” resonate deeply.
