So that’s it then.
I was a there in the cloud
of cosmic dust
and then I was a rock for
14 billion years,
lived for a few years,
and became water and air
and wind and
a rock again for
14 billion years more.
It’s like a rock blinks for a split
second and looks around,
and says, I matter,
I’m a rock star,
and blinks and becomes
a rock again,
while angels sing,
and 28 billion years,
and a few years more,
become
a tiny stone in the sea
so
love the rocks around you
though rocky souls they may be
for they beat the odds
to blink with you and me.
