Twin Peaks of Liberty Bell Peak in WA State on Highway 20
ONE
Eons ago
the land formed
and eons later it rose
and now I stand in awe
Of a timeline unimaginably vast
Gleaming in this golden hue
slipping off with the sun
as the half-moon honors
its ancient legacy
Reminding me
Of my smallness,
Of our short time here
Where we denigrate our differences
Wasting away worlds of time
We could better spend together
Honoring our diversity
Because we are
but one people
On one world
We need.
