Echo

With words that we utter we wind through the day Mortal matter we mutter as mind mules decay Exports of odd thoughts to extremes across seas The relief of belief passing memes like disease By parchment, by paper or carved into stone By improbable chance or by one glance alone By smoke, sound or signal, or flashing like light Streaking into the heavens and into the night Speeding softly unsealed and scattered for years Seeding stellar strewn fields of celestial spheres Leaking into the fabric that permeates space The one tiny echo of one human race
