Amber

life frame lantern artof4elements
90 million years old
stolen from the bottom of the sea
with its opaque crust
freed from the matrix of forget-ness
in its centre hides leaves, flowers, fruits
spiders, frogs and butterflies
a resin from an injured tree
that caught in its tear a life-frame
of past so distant and yet
so near
does it also in its depth hide
our eternal stride?

Rub this amber on the skin of your soul
and watch how it changes the fragrance of this world.
