The Pine Barrens

Long yellow grasses stretch across a field of gravel and stone;

The serpentine landscape 

SSSSSSShifting, 
                         Dancing, 
                                        Licking scattered boulders like cat tongue.

Scales of lichen on a time worn surface, slowly reclaiming,
Unaware of their purpose…? 

Grand Plan or Random Action;
To the same conclusion.

Millenniums to dust, 
Return to the Beginning,
Never lush.

    I appreciate it, I've written for years but this is the first time I've shared it publicly. It's nice to be read
