Traveling the Stillness

A rooted backyard rock,
blooms
in the morning sunlight.

All night
it has been time travelling
through the history of the earth,
now it is flowering,
for the light has reshaped it
into stillness once more.

For an unfurling moment
we both cast no shadow
upon this spiraling eon,
as we orbit a sun
together.
