The Precipice

Walking the precipice

Of an old canyon hill.

Where the howls of wolves,

Echoed through the night.

 

Looking down at the ages,

Where the hollow hill formed.

The guts of centuries exposed,

The marvel of time encased.

 

Can I, the beholder, absorb

The beauty no man has seen?

Etched witin my feeble mind,

The rarity of its being.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
