Hadean Earth

'SEE WHAT LIIFE HOLDS' From From Visual Counterpoint . com


So sweet the sound surrounded the surface,
So soft the air seeped onto the sphere,
So straight it bent to space-time law,
So silent this age echoes no fear.

No life was here,
No ears to hear,
No eyes to shed a tear,
Only revision reclaims the rear,
And brings silence near.

This was an age that defies our knowledge,
This was a time that we have yet to see,
This was the birth of a virgin planet,
This was the Earth before life came to be.

No life was here,
No ears to hear,
No eyes to shed a tear,
Only time remarks on the rear,
And brings silence near.

So sweet the sound echoes from the surface,
So soft the air rebounds from the sphere,
So straight in law it bends to space-time,
So silent this song is forever dear.

The photograph is of one of my African pigmy hedgehog babies at 10 days old.
His mother ‘Hedges’ and his dad ‘Benson’ are the proud parents of five born 08/09/10
Here I find the reason to write down a song from the past that resonates through time and seeks only the reason to be.

I found the name of your little hedgehog's parents very amusing.
Will you name this little angel filter or tip?
Life is indeed forever dear.

Coming back from a weeks holiday in France it was a true pleasure to come across not one but three entries from you. All of which were a pure joy to read

When was that mystic moment when the first ears heard the first sound?
