Home

Home.

I was in hell being bombed in the Hadean.

I was just alive in the Archean.

I was long present in the Proterozoic.

I was changed by life in the Cambrian.

I brought order to the Ordovician and

I just survived the Silurian.

I nearly drowned in the Devonian, with all those fish!

I made coal in the Carboniferous, delta, changes.

I was probably in the Permian desert dust storms.

I was a playa in the triple, arid, Triassic,

I evolved with  many ‘ites during the Jurassic

I chalked the Cretaceous, fashioning forans and flints.  

I nearly perished in the Paleogene.

I numbered the Neogene.

I quaked in the sometimes chilly Quaternary.

I have lived so long, it may seem perverse,

I want to live to the end of the universe.

I am the worse for wear and war weary.

I am your home, your Earth, cherish me dearly.
