Sentinels

A buried single warning

Danger which does not reflect

The shadow is removed, bathed in light

Forces concealed

A signal is sent, the song of distant earth

Minds evaporate with incomprehension

The sentinel speaks a language unknown

Awakening intelligence

The arrival of thought

Born in pain we suffer and learn

Through perpetual change we consume and divide

The small star bursts in my hand

Tools once used to destroy this world we left behind

We left behind
