Now brushing sand from the face of this shale
I gaze
This ancient land where we sun danced
Now alone with only a fossil of remembrance in my hand
Once where laughter flashed along canyon walls
I listen
Two lovers spun hide and seek with the shade
Leaving behind only the echo of calls to fade into sage and grass blade
I treasure this gift pressed sorrow and sweet
Layers of days imprinted on stone
Long gone from the blind but bright heart's beat
Engraved in silhouette clean down to the bone.
Old impressions of love not easily eroded where shadows flirt;
Surfacing transformed, something solid and strong.
The past invites and I respond, inspired by dirt.
