The Space Between the Gods who Sing (Original)

in #story6 years ago

What will you say in 50 years
if by then you've reached your fears -
if by then you've said your piece
and made your mark upon the feast?

Could you even raise that glass
knowing what you've done since then?
that your point could never last
so that now we've gone from how to when.

And, lying there, in cold hospital bed
with stuttering mind repeating this dread
could you believe you had instead
lived a life and not just bled?

What could you say in 50 years
if by then the world has ceased -
if by then we've been released
to sojourn to some greater feast?

There are no words from history
spoken from that darker rage
that sings as clear as stone can sing
to echo in each age.

The Pyramids that stand in Watch
understand quite well the scheming things
that time and air and space and life
clandestinely conspire to bring.

They'll stay in place to wait and see
while we are ground to dusted waste
and of us throughout time they'll sing
of the folly of the human race.
