I’ll remember
All my life
Ever changing
Never changing
Just like me
Ever changing
Never changing
Just like me
A solid from liquid
Carved and shattered
Cracks refilled by molten rock
Uplifted and fractured
Sundered and separated
Tumbled and rolled
Now here
Settled gently
On the shore
Of a still lake
On a quiet dawn
To marvel at the fleeting existence
Of the things that live
Even the tree
The details lost
No greys or shadows
The colours lost
No textured nuance
And it occurs to me
The same thing happens
When I shine the light too hard
On the truths I’m seeking
Though…
Every now and again
I catch one
A long glorious ride
Exhilaration
Exultation
Delightful experience
All the way to shore
A time before anything lived
And the closest thing to life
Were molecules
Which looked like
The kinda things
You built life with
Beyond the straight
A farther shore
Receding
In the mist
