Meteorite

Meteorite 
1.
Falling stars do not fall,
they consume,
in blinding temperatures,
bending reality
to guide the heavy rocks
together.
2.
Leaves,
lost minerals
on cosmic wind
gather to form
the soil of a planet.

-Robert L. Jackson III

  5. Wow this was a thoughtful post....you remind us where we come from and where we will inevitably end up as we become part of the earth again and then part of the greater universe....wonderful!

  6. How well you explain the creation of this place in which we abide.
    And too, the eventual demise of this place...
