Flowering forever, enrobed in glass

Witness of first years, of paper, cotton

What we may lose as all mankind nears a crucial brink.

where time forgets its name
and distance wears no shoes,
a single atom dreams

They would be thinking
Dreadful thoughts.
Wishing they could be humans.
Just wishing that they could be

The imagery you've left will outlive all,
With nature,your immortal bond
You will stand like a kiri tree tall.
