The Earth has preserved the history of things tat lived long before humans arrived. This week’s Typewriter Rodeo is about taking a moment to discover the history that lies underneath the surface.
Looking for Fossils
It’s the same spot
Hundreds and thousands
Have trod across
Before
All in a hurry
To get from there
To another there
Never bothering
With here
But you know
That life is about pausing
And taking the time to see
And explore
Where others
Scurry past
And so you stop
And kneel
Dig
And dust
And time
Seems to stop
As you reach down and touch
A piece of the past
That’s been waiting
Just
For you.
