The Mighties

by .... - Aquarius

The habitants
reclused in shelter in front of a comforting fire
The moon smiling crescent blessings
An effigy raised...burning
bubbling with crisp memories of its former self
Long forgottten, though saved in oral tradition
Passed down from generation to generation
In the warm nights filled with the aroma of salt near the ocean's edge

Northern lights pulsating

Metoer showers as the heaven speaks
In proverbs
A common quid pro quo
Their minds opening excepting, receieving, in communion
Along the stretched road into now excavated ruins
Where once stood the Mighties
Intelligent beings carving truth inside the human gene
A truth mirroring thier own
Thier likeness born to comfort thier loneliness
Thier gift transforming beast into consciness
Descendants have we become?
Magnify oursleves under the right optics
We see aliens in our own eyes
Foreign lights penetrating from the deep darkness
We may soon fathom as our true gods
