Long beyond those days in the sun
when flesh and breath are one,
our bones will build the landscapes
of other futures.

What small traces remain,
a thing, a word or human stain
will live after remembrance
and be remade in its own space.

Less important to be different,
sea-grown or heaven sent
when the mystery has no answer
that can be understood.

Instead, the hearts of stars
make us humble containers,
driving our green engines
back into the dust, and history.

this is the kind of poetry that keeps me gong, makes me want to come back here and seek out quality(it seems lacking of late sorry lol) but this really makes you think, i drifted through the stanzas mindfully, considering your well wrought words, the picture sets it up stunningly well done, deep thinking freind!!

keep it up!!
