(3rd week of March 2020)

See the Dawn

Hands of stone
raised towers of steel
in an age of might
when the fight was real

Now we mourn
the mines they delved
but turn our backs
within ourselves

Air is conducive
to carry us now
into a future
far beyond sound

Light the mountain
and the deep
with words of wisdom
in restless sleep

Inscribe a tablet
in an atom's cave
and let its knowledge
be the capital we save

The channels of spirit
flow with a new ore
Liquefied network
a map to explore

Through night we wait
as the waves rage on
If we do not drown
we may see the dawn
