We come together in this swirling mass You participate in an endless flow of energy, from one movement to the next You kiss, feel, touch, love, care, hug You believe, think, have faith, gesture You hate, renounce, decry, hurt, break Played out on a stage, a life led as so many millions before Things you will never know are never known The knowledge you do know cherished The love you felt and feel embellished across a chest What note will you have left? A salutary glance, paragraph or a punctuation mark? You are sustained by all that ever passed before Those scraping bodies across floors to those elevated in thought From slaves and ****** To intellects and emperors Each a fully breathing entitled human being No more, no less No more, no less A mother, a father, a sister, a brother Related are all, blood tied and adored Taken away in time, eroded into the winds and forgotten for ever more Let the stars glare upon this blue orb Reflecting the dreams of those inhabiting it To never be known, secrets drowned in space What say you to heavenly bodies on deepest, darkest nights? Utterances trembling from unsure lips I love I hope Humanity built on feeling. For we must feel our way. We must feel our way.
