Starlit Resources

Starlit Resources May brings desert winds giving a warm Spring when least you expect it... Unknown to the letter, unreached like pictures Suddenly rising up, uncalled, Yet pressing on horizons, never defined, moving beyond rainbows, Pillars of stone, and lighted caves Search into the dusk from dawn, searching for beginnings and ends October brings rains, waterfalls get started, missed all year While we search the hillsides for signs of life. Another Spring more flowers, talking again, Tides come and go the rooms go past again, speeding by life The rest of a domeless habitat Unspent bottles, shattered glasses, Forests edging onto gleaming fields of steel Where primates once again roam the byways of this earth Questions come and go, far and wide, roaming on the run ideas are roped in, filed, gassed, and deposited in crematoria crime spills onto the streets, cannibal Cretans living in painted homes Live illusions of their art, only to find trussed bodies, skeletal remains.... Death stalking them Murder and disease sworn in look tall Returning questions boomerang through cities Incredible acrodynamic machines cry for outer space Unreliable pillars, unseen are made into history Yet collapse every day, broken by its weight.
