The Blue Dot

If the Earth could speak...

***

Just a

swirling

blue dot

.

in a

seamless

universe

.

whispers

hist

forget me not

.

in sonar

short and

terse

*

No one knows

how I

happened

.

no one

ever

will

.

and yet will

I spin on

and on

.

until all is

stopp’d and

still

.

So be not

yet unkind

to me

.

since I am

all you’ve

got

*

Hurtling

through

the void

.

at such a

frantic

pace

.

I am your

only

habitat

.

your lease

of time

and space

*

Nothing is

forever

neither you

nor I

.

when the Solar

Lamp stops

burning

.

we are both

doomed

to ___

*

Conjure

fulsome

stories

.

of how I

came to

be

.

big bang

or high

commandments

.

all the same

to

me

*

No heaven

looms

above us

No hell

leers

below

.

what you see

is

all there is

.

all there is

to

know

*

Seen a trillion

species

come

seen a

trillion

go

.

your bones

will be

my pixie

dust

.

your flesh

the grass

to grow

*

So be not

vain

your span

is short

.

covet

each precious

day

.

we’re

scatter’d specks of

stardust

.

that lace

the milky

way

.

met here

pure by

accident

.

too soon

to

drift away

*

Build no

towering

monuments

.

seek not

to

mark your sway

.

soft let be

your sojourn

here

.

let your

tread

be light

.

leave all

else

to happenstance

.

albeit

in ‘

wan distrait

.

the ever

Eternal

Verities

.

of Entropy

and

Blight
