Poem #305 Fossils


Fossils, while symbols of ages past,

do not mean death.

Their very existence is a carefully preserved map

of potential pitfalls and mistakes to avoid,

their experiences, a fount of wisdom

that cannot be ignored.

I hope one day

to be this for my children,

a symbol of an age long gone,

but my experiences

become transformed into a template

and a launchpad for them to reach new heights.
