It is here
the beginning ends                    (   It is from dust that we come   )
and here                              ( and back to dust once more we go )
the end begins
 
 

bones which once bore deathless dreams
bleach on golden sands
as
mountains born in burst of flame
(on continents that meet and part
like slowly moving clouds of stone)
crumble slowly to the plain.




   In ancient caverns                                 along with veins of gold
   shadows drawn with pigments                        and coal, and softly
              of crushed stone                                  sparkling gems
   dance an ageless dance
 

the passage in
and
the passage out
are one!
 

The diamond, which once, itself, knew life,
when held close to the eye
displays within,
a spark of light,
that not before the worlds collapse
will ever seem to die
 

And still I hear you softly moan

“alone alone alone
from mother’s breast
           to stony tomb
from stellar fire
         to warmwet womb
the journey is the same
alone alone alone”
 

It seems a never ending circle                  It seems a never ending cycle
of dust to dust to dust                         we travel because we must
 
 

and yet we seek, and, then, we find
as we wander through the mind
this is the journey of our kind
 

We are alone, and yet, together, holding tight
as we travel down this road; this movement toward the light
on this passage through the night
