Crawl

Crawl

A Poem by Ella Simone

Crawl

 

You say you’ve got to live forever

Go down in history

You see no point in this endeavor

If you fade from memory

 

But we’re part of something more

Than just our plain selves.

From earth’s crust to its core

Across continental shelves

“We’re collections of carbon

Men of molecules.”

“Maybe we’re caught in God’s bargain”

“Maybe we make our own rules”

 

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

We all just crawl

On the earth’s same crust

Seas can freeze

And red can rust

Who ever said it’s all about us?

 

You want to govern the galaxy

And man the Milky Way

But that’s not my priority

I’m just here for a stay

 

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

We all just crawl

On the earth’s same crust

Skin caves in

And red turns to rust

Who ever said it’s all about us?

Indeed, maybe we have just focused on a small part of the big picture. Perhaps seeing more of it is the reason we're here. Really good rhyming. Reminded me of Amanda Gorman.

Love this reminder,
you got the timing pretty much perfect

We are all one, yes! We will all sink back into dust and dirt, our souls will flow to a different vibration, and isn't funny how sometimes we forget, we are only here for expansion, creativity and love :D

Bravo No matter the form
We cling to the 4th rung on the milky way Jousting Windmills..
Life's about perspective..

Found yours entertaining
Straight through thanx!
