Nexus of Fate
Of Human Clay
In the minds of men and children
Burn thoughts and deeds unspoken
Dancing to the cadence of our hearts,
They ensure the nexus is never unbroken
*
Chanting echoes in haunted rhythms,
A lilting lullaby tells an unfailing story
While in sacred, ceaseless locutions,
Stripped secrets spin us toward the glory
*
Unsure of the path’s unwinding spirals
We steer the ship in search of land
A raging blaze calms to lead the way
As diverging waters open and expand
*
Our wealth is measured in wisdom gained
From the burning nexus of life’s force
In serendipitous infernos of song and dance,
A circling fire is born to ignite our course
*
High across the stars layered in the sky
Life's force is heralded in the fire of night
Minds and souls merge at the sight
As the circling nexus fuels our flight
*
Wisdom gleamed in this journey
Is gathered from a persistent fight
The hunted becomes the wise old sage
And undertakes the hunter’s plight
*
Evolution prevails, stoked and burning
As life persists, unveiling unleashed plays
All while we’re nurtured in fate’s blaze,
A piece of art baked from human clay
*
Our wealth is measured in wisdom gained
From the burning nexus of life’s force
In serendipitous infernos of song and dance,
A circling fire is born to ignite our course
*
