Poem: "Island in a Sea of Fire"

[ysabetwordsmith]

This poem came from the February 7, 2012 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was inspired by kelkyag.  It was sponsored by Anthony Barrette.  I'm fascinated by ecological succession, in which nature can colonize a landscape sterilized by liquid rock.

I like how this humbles humanity just a bit. We need it!

Yes...

We are brief candle-flames against the history of the Earth.
