Unseen for millennia,
a mass of rose quartz waited,
deep in the Earth.
a mass of rose quartz waited,
deep in the Earth.
Tectonic plates collided, raising mountains.
Erosion shattered masses of rock and scattered the shards.
Unseen for centuries,
a shard of the rose quartz waited
in a jumble of rocks, roots, and soil.
Unseen for years,
the shard of the rose quartz waited
while runoff undercut sides of a drainage ditch.
After removing debris from the ditch,
I cleaned and kept the shard.
Seen at last!

I am always struck by how young human beings are in total when compared with the rocks that they dig up and scatter about. It is soothing to think that some of my atoms may turn up in piles of gravel in many millions of years time.
