Mote in the eye of the cosmos
a dot, a speck of dust
one electron circling
a nucleus in a Macro-Atom,
the punctuation at the end of
the longest sentence,
a split infinitive:
to maybe cool to a dark cold rock
like so many others
or a hot dry gumball
or broken into asteroids,
or dust, melted to plasma.
But - we are here now - alive...
ALIVE. Shout it!
Live it! Here!
Right here
on this
speck.
- Mar Walker
