Beneath the surface of the gentle earth,
Where time etches tales in silent stone,
Minerals and rocks find their quiet rebirth,
In layers of history, their secrets are sown.

Granite stands firm, a guardian of time,
Its strength unyielding, in mountains it towers,
Quartz, with its crystals, in brilliance it chimes,
Reflecting the light of the sun’s golden hours.

Limestone whispers of oceans long past,
In its layers, the echoes of ancient tides,
Shale holds the story of forests vast,
In its depths, the shadows of time abide.

Each rock a chapter, each mineral a word,
In the grand epic of the Earth’s endless lore,
Together they sing, though their voice goes unheard,
Of the planet we walk, and the wonders it bore.
