The message has been sent
among the stacked corroborations
remain the only touch
perhaps night will
obscure the notions
honor, trust, courage
a remembrance of  things passed

the message has been sent
the water endlessly seeking the sea
an eternity
pebbles roll along the stream floor
underfoot
the water ankle deep
an moment

the message has been sent
within the certification
release the only intonation
duty, mercy, hope
all living things relent

stretched before me forever
new chains have been forged
the message has been sent
