Poems A-Z Crater

6/7/2010

Is it just a quiet hole in the earth

Or a memory…of some impact or dearth

Standing on the rim, the sun sets across the space

A bird’s scream echo’s…then goes without a trace

The crater, so quiet now and so alone

Where once were trees and lakes and stone

Think of the speed at which the meteor fell

Resting now deep in the earth, resting still

Memories, like craters in my heart

Now lie silent, understood in part

It now is a beautiful place, quiet and serene

As I gaze across this open crater scene

The poem for “C” was crater. My mind went back to Hawaii were I stood on the rim of the Haleakala crater in MauiHawaii. This crater was caused by a volcano rather than a meteorite but it’s a crater still the same and the only one I remember seeing. I do remember how quiet it was, and I remember birds soaring.
