Amber

The vegetation is lush and awe inspiring The mosquitoes and huge dragonflies are flying The colossal ferns among which huge reptiles are dreaming In the skies pterodactyls are not yet visible but huge insects are soaring A mosquito drinks blood of cynognathus then lands on a tree Soon trapped in tree resin he will be To be discovered millions years later is its destiny And blood he drank part of genetic testing will be Amber formed from the resin in ancient world is known They say its tears of poplars that then have grown The tears are because of brother of poplars whose loss they moan He was son of the very sun that was killed and now his sisters are alone There are pieces of amber with dragonflies in them by Baltic Sea They are of exceptional beauty To me Amber is more than resin from a tree It is the reflection of the past That long time will last It is also reflection of sun that shadow on earth will cast Reflection of one having no reference to any echo of time in evolution, which forever will last
