The Spires

The Spires

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

the spires rise,
both rock and steel,
above our hopes and dreams
these are the scant few
who make the imprint,
one rock says to another
but we shall see them go
because are almost immortal,
the second rock states in kind
the constituent parts of us
and the scant few are immortal,
the first rock voices and the
second one nods in agreement
they put their eyes on the
metal spires and on the 
bigger granite spires
in the background
all will become dust again,
the cycle beginning with
the crashing of cymbals
at Shiva's hand
cycles exist ad nauseam,
and the rocks know that
notion the best of anyone

There is a divine flow of life in your words... these ancient spires... these stones that see the cycles of life moving... ebbing and flowing age to age. You take us into the stage of eternal things and teach us to flow into these endless things.
