Favorite Quote:
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." -Friedrich Nietzsche


Soft gravely dirt
Stretched and scathed

Bare of flora
Bones of fauna
Piercing earthly hide

A drop of sky
Will swirl and mix
To fix the broken ground

The dry groans
Muffle
Wet with mud

And bear the fruits
Of tender time
Seeping past the fault

So thus the Earth was shifted
Soil sifted
In Gaia's mighty hands
