Stardust

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jan 12, 2022 

Stardust.
Vastness
of being.
Beyond
comprehension.
Limitations.
Human limitations
baked in.
Climbing
mountains.
Only
to see
higher.
Undaunted
pressing
higher still.
Only
to see
higher.
Never ending
mountains.
Mountains
to climb.
Taller still.
Forever
higher.
History
crumbling,
ground
down.
Down like
peaks
to the
sea.
Old ways
eroded.
Blown away
to infinite’s
shore.
All that
was
untimely
forgotten.
To
stardust
return.
