Gold and Bones

Gold and Bones

A Poem by Zakari Schmidt
"

Inside our dying world

"
Time is just a tool for me
to screw myself into the ground
Manufactured from
the gold and bones
inside our dying world
Life is like a tool for me
to lift myself into a cloud
Build a ladder tall enough
to touch a star and burn it out

I wonder if humanity
is fashioned to the will of god
I wonder if reality
is something we've been dreaming of

This remindes me of the concept of Atonement. Humans are blessed with superb talent, they are sculpted in the shape of the Lord, and are capable of colossal achievements. What we dream becomes real, and what is real, is still locked in a dream.

Your own foray into existentialism.

You're welcome.
This is beautiful. It is the sort of thing one would find in an inspirational quotes book. It is really superb. Very Very Inspiring and straight to the point. The choice of words is also wonderful. I really love the compositons in which writers use very selected few words and create a very strong impression.
