Hopes and dreams
sown in fields of glory
live on

delivering Mankind
from pits of sorrow
and despair
to mounds
of respite

in the tumult
of turning worlds
and galaxies
hurtling past stars
and diving through dust

reinventing
in the process
what it is to be
conscious beings
acting humane
and compassionate
with mutualism

at zero altitude,
landing like butterflies,
indeterminate
just when
or where
fancy rings
the dour toll
of grief's passing
and death's successful hunt

Infinitesimal forms
live on
respitefully
hurtling past stars
in the process
indeterminate
