when the sky
turns milky-white
and our bodies
are nothing but
cancellous shells
with thrashing limbs;
we will be
Nameless.
… and in the books
of history
yet to be written,
we will be known
as those
who were
too presumptuous
to follow
the universe’s
well-intentioned call.
after all these years,
we still
haven’t learned a thing.

NAMELESS
People would all fall,
Rise and again fall all.
For dues nature pays,
In this nature all dies.
To the fine or stricken
Stranger things happen.
Mystery is life itself;
God’s own other half.

Glad you liked it

🙂 might be…
Very meaningful, and sadly true … I always told to learn from my mistakes, humanity (as a whole) seems incapable of this however. Although change can start with one voice. Thanks for sharing.

Haunting words Miriam… and I very much appreciate the cosmically profound context you have placed them in. Beautiful.
