Shadows we seem to be of spirits high,
reflections Of ourselves whom we know not;
Zach feels within himself, as half forgot,
And aforementioned, deep mystery;
Wondering meet each other, eye to eye,
And ask of one another what is taught
by this strange dwelling in world unsought
Where we have lost immortality.
The stars shine family from the seas still lace
While their great spheres roll through uhmeasuieu
space
So we, who here ourselves can scarcely trace,
Caught in the CLEAN of Natures varied play,
Have orbits circling through realms far away,
Where Love creates us an Eternal Day.
