Light from dark a spark that dies in the waning vision of our eyes
Just solar dust a temporal thrust, washed away on cosmic seas under celestial skies
Immortality does not live in flesh or blood but resides in the mud of memory
Character is hewn of bone turned to stone, filed by time's emery
Good and evil from dirt primeval, the same, the two are but one
Right or wrong a matter of perception, mirror reflection, mirage of the sun

A good afternoon from here, Soren,
When you take away all the philosophies, the religions, the political systems, the markets and borders, it all boils down to this poem - the mud of memory and good and evil are but one. A superlative and profound passage of poetic wisdom. Much praise for this one, one to linger well after the reading.
Your fellow poet and friend,
Tony.

Such beautiful illuminated poetic verse, the rhythm and elevated descriptive terms and concepts propel the piece forward giving it a tone of revelatory prophetic inference. This is poetry at divine inspiration level- honestly your words and lines are each individually breathtaking to read they are so poetic and beautiful and you deal with concepts like light and dark, cosmic and celestial conceptual imagery, immortality, legacy, death, memory, time, character, good and evil, perception.... all within 6 lines of ethereal poetic imagery- a masterclass in brevity with true substance and meaning. I am in awe of this piece- it's brilliant. Thankyou for.producing this Sir! Sincerely, Elizabeth
