Ode To Humanity

This is for you. And about understanding we are more than ourselves. Just look up.

Chiseled from diamond in the style

Of Orion, you are immortal.

From the dirt on the ground

To the wisps of the clouds,

We are what surrounds us: Eternity.

As traveling statues,

The honor is thine own,

For virtue rests on the pillows

Of wherever we call home.

Though we yearn to set flat 

Our soles on fate,

It will forever shift underneath us 

Like wrinkled carpets jerked straight.

Reflect on your path 

From whence you came to see,

That to ignore the gem you are

Is a crime on par with treachery.

Follow the omens

As they're written in your dreams.

Setbacks happen,

But you'll succeed if you believe.
