Scree and Talus

Life erupts in violent shifts

Lifted high from fissures and rifts

It forms in ridges and spreads in range

Sliding and cracking in resistance to change

We strive to shape it to fit an ideal

Its flaws we attempt to conceal

We chip and carve and cleave away pieces

Our discontentment never ceases

The crest and valleys make us unique

Our achievements displayed in every peak

To smooth it away leaves us plain

Yielding a mundane terrain

The magnificence lies in the rare and the raw

The elegance tied to the odd and the awe

Seeking conformity just causes strife

The scree and talus is the best part of life
