FOOD FOR THOUGHT

 

How far away, are two

are we?

How much more time,

If we are to meet?

 

How long,

will it be

Before we two,

Both are set free?

 

Fourteen generations,

Fourteen

and fourteen more?

When will you rest

on that velvet floor?

 

Are we two destined

To be together,

Or will our experience

Co-exist never?

Awaiting your death

Awaiting my birth

Awaiting our introduction

In mother earth

 

How long before

we are both fed

You, God’s fulfillment

You, my daily bread

 

For you are made man

Fated to die and decay

And I am made worm

Fated to hasten,

your wasting away.
