"I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton. Let each man hope and believe what he can."- Charles Darwin


Lay down your head on this grass bed
Nature will conform to your curves
Don’t be afraid my dear
This is the bed of your beloved
One communal safe haven
Rest here and dream of the flowers around you
The wolves will not harm
No, they will rather become one with you as you with us
But before you bow down to slumber
Shout your legacy to the cliffs
So that your echo may carry throughout our world
Write your name in the mud beside the river banks
Burn down the tress surrounding your bed
So that the sun may see you in full light
With rage and defiance you may try and escape this forest
Yes it can get lonely here
But do not fear we will all be with you
So instead dear, once you sing your hymn
Lay down your rose on the fertile soil beside you
And dream of your echo as they will receive it
