Ages of Nature

[Evan Shaw]

Boots tred gravel road, stars create triangle above,
as a calm understanding arises amidst thundering rain.
Though distant, does she see Orion?

Approaching rushing gorge, fossils line rocks,
like Thoreau - His traces I spot, while cicadas swarm.
Do His laws keep creating?

When I enter forest, beginning to be filled, by Spirit's sanctuary.
Processes, processes, waiting to unfold,-
Goethe said a leaf contains the whole plant.
Would you believe this homage?

Him, Him, recycling old ideas, to bring before a new audience,
"All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times."
What is originality?

Bach and Mozart composing musical strains, fill the room, on harpsichord.
I'd rather talk about men of old, than myself.
Is that weird?

Each man has his particular bent, stick to it.

[cafolini]

Probably not all permutations and combinations will ever be used. But so much has been said that you would have to be an idiot to try not to use cliché. Teamwork is what we do and have been doing for ages. Good stuff.
