Earth Reborn

Earth Reborn

A star blazed silently over barren land, shadows cast over crumbling sand.

Purple lightning pierced the western sky, blinding not a single eye.

Waves pounded black dirt beaches.

The gentle wind played through what was left of yesterday's sorrows.

A zephyr drew mutating designs among the collection of dust left by time immortal.

Somewhere the remains of the last structure collapsed into oblivion,

To join it's slumbering comrades in their world of sand.

Silence abounds, for lack of ears to perceive.

Time passed not slowly, not quickly, but only as time without measurement can.

Seconds became decades and decades, eons.

Light to darkness to light, what difference with no one to witness?

A mighty hand had ravaged this land, turning buildings to sand,

Troubled strife had stamped out life.

Winds, rains, and seas beat the face of this world.

Mountains formed, mountains washed away.

Evidence of this world's past were erased to be reformed time and again.

Into this dead, forgotten world appeared a brilliant form,

Moving swiftly and silently across the face of the dark and lifeless waters,

Over the realty, through ageless mountains, round and round this spinning orb,

Remembering this a fertile land, with that thought and outstretched hands...

"LET THERE BE LIFE."
