In Any Event

 

If we are fractured

we are fractured

like stars

bred to shine

in every direction,

through any dimension,

billions of years

since and hence.


I shall not lament

the human, not yet.

There is something

more to come, our hearts

a gold mine

not yet plumbed,

an uncharted sea.


Nothing is gone forever.

If we came from dust

and will return to dust

then we can find our way

into anything.


What we are capable of is not yet known,

and I praise us now,

in advance.
