Times Past Remembered

I stagger at the thought of long ago whispers
of the old fathers who looked across this landscape
and observed the hostile and serene of living
They viewed the fiery horizon at dusk
and were there when the sun shone down
upon moss and rock and land so wide
it stretched beyond imagination.
They stood in elevated places and lifted heads
to smell the jasmine on the breeze
and knew that in a future time and place
time would stand still for just a moment
on a lonely hill when someone remembered.
