Sitting on some blasted rocks,
I sipped my cup of tea
between the state of reverie
and mindful possibilities-
that place for reading leaves.
I looked up then to see
drawings on a rock before me,
a curious mystery-
a dinosaur, an ape and stars,
creatures of the sea
and more of mystery.
Were these scribblings
made in fun and reverie
or stories to be told?
Are they childhood Art
made not long ago
or something very old,
I wondered quietly
then finished sipping tea.
The value of this Art
all depends on ‘When’.

The discovery of ancient forms imprinted in rocks is so inspirational and capturing one’s imagination to think about our planet millions of years ago is fascinating.

Thanks for your comment David. Like you, I find geology and archeology fascinating. Like Religions, the Sciences seem to demand adherence to ‘acceptable’ world views. I had fun scribbling my poetic response to my experience the other day and don’t pretend expertise or serious theories. I also have fun reading tea leaves (like Joseph and his ‘divination cup’ in the Bible) but don’t pretend expertise in that either. Fun just wondering.
