We… who are…

Made in his image

Of stardust…

Must somehow …realize…

The myriad maze…

With which to employ

Specialized …magic…

Of survival…

As its opposite

Having claimed, so many

A pathway paved

With hapless souls

…encapsulated…

In the minds

Of others…

Perhaps, by mothers…

Gifting …sacrifice…

Sharing …precious secrets

To maintaining sustenance…  

Caring for their young

Memories …of times…

Starvation hovers

As close as death…

 

Measured by

Each labored breath…

Until the next meal

Recalling chance…

One which may

…never come…

More than we know

Seeds of mankind…    

Trapped in our sense

Of growing…

Need…

We …are more than

Just another mouth

…to feed,  

Making judgments…

Of  

Success or failure…

Spreading …

Hope and love

When all seems most dark

And hopeless,

We… who…    

Just as…

Children of the world…

Cling through the womb

…of time…

Find reason

To rely… on hope

And love…

As life flows, within…

To climb their way through

Impossibilities…

United …for a cause

…to be…   

As we grow …to learn…  

Good from evil…

Share joy…

Enlisting

Other people…

Which provide

More than company…

Endurance…

…a lifeline…

For the motion

To be continued…   

Making love…

More than reproduction,

A

 channel…   

More to rear

…than just to… pass

Our secrets through

When hubris… alone,

Just will not do…

And the mood of abandonment

Leaves us at the lions lair…

With little chance to

Be …continued…

 

Do as you please…

Tends, not to…

Give our path a second view

Consuming flesh…

Erasing, spiritual pathways

Ensuring… what is precious…

Will lie …useless…  

Like a disease

A disability

…to feel its presence…

…no more

 

 

Goodness

…knows…

These

Moments, we now share…

 

As we… learn

Despite, all…

What …the cost…

Mourning, what is lost…

Between our accomplishments

…and our dreams

 

 

To grow…

And if we look at things

Most honestly…

Though, you may laugh

In jest… about it all…

The fun and games…

Of …all…

The fun of things…

Learned… once…

Done …to impress…

A …booty call…  

Who says… that’s not

What brought …you here

Carried the soul and your spirit through

Past the pain …and noise…

Beyond abandonment

…across the void…

Of never to be…  

To become

A citizen …of eternity…

And brought…

This life …to you
