Written by Tansy Gunnar
Ancestors,
Bloodlines–
Intertwined,
Ever-evolving,
Providing safety…
Predestined interventions,
Of weathered elements,
Intercept ill intent–
Instant, auto-reject,
And returned three-fold.
Earth shakes,
Worlds break…
Tides rise,
Wash away
Bays,
Recede to grasslands.
Sea storms swallow lands,
Still,
Nobody understands…
What our bloodlines whisper–
“We’ve survived.”
A distant drum
Thump…
Thump…
Thump…
A deep tone
Reverberating throughout each bone.
Ricocheting from
Each neuron contained
Within universal eternity.
Strings, spiraling
Strands vibrating,
A cosmic tapestry,
Woven by all that was
and all that ever will be.
Time…
A construct of the mind,
Made to discern
Perception.
That’s led to confusion.
Time is fluid and malleable,
An illusion formed at creation.
The initial atom
Set the pace,
Expanding forever-more
As new matter joins
The cosmic tune.
All is made of stardust
That vibrates in sync
By hidden harp strings
Playing chords
That life breathes
Into beings.
Thump…
Thump…
Thump…
Eons of heart beats,
Echo in unison–
Listen…
Can you hear the beat?
The melody?
The tone,
Reverberating throughout your bones?
The song of the universe pulsing
Through you, rings true…
“We survived.”
What will this inspire you to do?
