Sitting near the edge of a cliff,

Over looking a great expanse.

I tried to visualize what grew below,

But could not ascertain if life was there.

 

I would have to lower myself

With the ropes I had carried.

On reaching the bottom,

It was as if I was not on earth.

 

I had never seen soil like this before.

I gathered some and packed it away.

I would have to examine it at my lab.

I'm sure the results will be astounding.
