Ancient Stones
hold the ink
of Eternity.
Between the rocks
and a heart space,
a poet’s pen etches
Deep-time truths
on a field of blue,
revealing the message
imbedded within
the ancient stones:
Gaia’s essence
is Eternal Chaos,
and her survival
requires
that all inhabitants
embrace the principles
of essential connectedness,
Universality.

Loved your poem, especially since I am ancient myself, and have been in love with Ancient Greece since 1954.

I particularly loved your play on the words "between a rock and a hard place"! Very clever.

Thanks, lady Diana. It all started with that phrase. When 'between the rocks and a heart space' wedged itself into my brain, I knew it was an ancient message awaiting release.

You are on a roll, Kacy. You have certainly written down some beautiful thoughts in the last few days. I have truly enjoyed each one.

A fine tribute to 'Universalism'

Much of 'Nature' does indeed involve interwoven (deeply 'connected')
high-energy 'self-organized' (emergent/non-linear) systems hung on
the cusp (poised at the edge) of 'chaos!' The careless, highly detrimental
environmental acts of the human animal can easily push said 'delicately
balanced' systems over the edge into total chaos (with great threat to the
survival of most 'life' on Earth (including our myopic and self-absorbed species)

much applause for this 'penning!'

Bruce, thank you for that reply! I can never express Universality principles as eloquently as you!
