A million years on,
no one is remembered.
Yet you worry about your name,
not the grace you could bring?

Even this breathing world,
this brief Eden,
will one day be unmade
by the sun it circles.

Ego, legacy, destiny:
tools of a spellbound mind.

Remember instead
a small hand curled in your palm.

Here. Now.
