“The Path We Must Walk by Stewart Stafford From dust, we are conjured, And, to black hole dust, return, Greater than parts that made us, From first breath to a cremation urn. O rake the ashen cinders over, With smiling teardrops past, A speck of dust, every echo, In an inner eye, fading fast. The cheerful moon, light in darkness, A hint of blazing celestial glory, Thawing all terrestrial tension, Life's character, a remembrance story. From fleshly body to a child of light, Weather kissing an empty grave, Wilting flowers nod to obsolescence, Sentiment, memory, unharmed to save. © Stewart Stafford, 2023.

The Path We Must Walk by Stewart Stafford
From dust, we are conjured,
And, to black hole dust, return,
Greater than parts that made us,
From first breath to a cremation urn.
O rake the ashen cinders over,
With smiling teardrops past,
A speck of dust, every echo,
In an inner eye, fading fast.
The cheerful moon, light in darkness,
A hint of blazing celestial glory,
Thawing all terrestrial tension,
Life's character, a remembrance story.
From fleshly body to a child of light,
Weather kissing an empty grave,
Wilting flowers nod to obsolescence,
Sentiment, memory, unharmed to save.
