Little Lump of Lava
I burst forth from the volcano of creationa single stream of lava, my sister streaming larger
broader ahead of me
I followed in her path for a while
watching carefully the smoke billowing, the ashes settling around me and in my ever hardening shape
while the other streams seemed to harden around me
I stayed supple, until I shattered and broke, no heat to hold me together
*
The ocean found me, and I raged through its swirling storms
a cloud of ash and sand streaming from place to place
Finally finding my own little beach
*
On this beach millennia pushed at me and I pushed back, finding my crude and glittering form
These days I sit in my favourite river, becoming smooth and rolling as I watch life evolve around me
At peace
