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
