Until We Forget Them

A Poem by Davidgeo

.

words are verbal shirts and sweaters
crafted by hunters ancient
   under stress
driven by survival
   from the darkness. . .
came this symphony of consciousness
   bred hard over ages
perpetuated by language
   bringing more, always more light unto the darkness
across the lands, through the ages
through the most treacherous of conditions
     it was always words. . .
always words that remind us
   "that it is this. . . this, is how we survive"
