I was born long ago
at a time when time began
I have journeyed among the stars
experienced the ebb and flow of creation
watched as my spirit was transformed to flesh
and then mine flesh transformed to earth
I have witnessed the clash of Titans
of planets waltzing and colliding
of matter being consumed by blackened holes
of stars gushing and waving their last particle of light
of events bringing about new horizons
but never was my spirit broken
never as it is in this time of times
watching malevolent souls extinguish naive flesh
watching time regress into paranoia and madness
watching saddened souls knowing not they are the universe
once created as the wondrous planets
made stationary by the gravity of the star’s rays
propelled by the magnetism of celestial auras
baptized as immortal spirits
busy creating essence in the vacuum of nothingness
let not your journey end
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
