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.
