In a hundred million years maybe

You already lost my attention

Span of time passes gently

Like waves lapping

At the edge of the river

Covered in orange, red, yellow

Fallen

Soon forgotten

I wonder what it’s like to jump 

like an eagle dares

Soaring, diving, darting

Wish I could be as brave as that eagle

Aerodynamic feathers

A predator..

But no

I’ll sit on the sidelines always

On the top of this mountain

That feels a hundred million years old

Surrounded by mountains, black sky, stars

Looking down in silence

As it all unfolds in front of me

Wondering
