Immortals

immortals

words free themselves
float through lip 
across vast spaces.
they outlast the speaker
live far beyond the author
travel into galaxies 
and nest behind stars.

up on the backs of words
ideas, dreams, ride
these immortal creatures
once released,
drift forever sewing seeds
to return and begin again.
