How deep runs water's memory?

Each molecule a story told

Through dinosaur blood

Through mammoth tears

Through yesterday's rain

The earth - a blue marble spinning

In darkness vast and cold

Gravity's unseen fingers

Dance us through space

Like puppets on cosmic strings

The sun burns our questions to ash

Planets waltz in ancient rhythm 

Our solar system: a dust mote

In infinity's playroom

Dawn bleeds into dusk

Truth dissolves in shadows

Rain falls, memory's tears

From clouds that knew us before

Life rises from decay

We feast on death transformed

Into leaf, into fruit

Into flesh remember flesh

Souls spin like seasons

Human to wing to hoof to claw

Each turn of the wheel 

Wearing grooves in existence

Was anything truly born?

Or do we echo endlessly

Like light between mirrors

Growing fainter with each reflection?

We are all borrowed stardust

Passing through temporary forms

The universe: an infinite loop

Of matter remembering itself
