Day 22 of Poetry Month - April 2016 - Earth Day

In honour of Earth Day.

Along the shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario

The wind that blows 

and the snow it throws

carve glyphics

in the cold rock scree.

Imprisoned they are

for millions of years

relaying their tales

of sleet, rain, and hail.

Only a select few tilting

fir soldiers remain

on duty watch, till

the next barrage commences.
