WESTERN DESERT
It is an ancient land.
It changes slowly.
So slowly it seems not to change.
**********
Long times ago it was vast ocean.
Slowly, so slowly, the ocean receded.
Ocean floor became mountain peak.
**********
Others were here then,
Strange creatures in unknown seas.
Now they are embedded in the high rock.
**********
Slowly, wind and rain eroded the hard rock.
Weird shapes emerged.
We came and gave them names.
**********
They will remain after the names are lost.
They will remain after we are forgotten.
It is an ancient land.
