You gave me breath: A poem 

You gave me breath 

the vapour of sustenance 

I created you 

and you created me 

We were within 

and without 

Likewise 

what arrives and does arise 

The God particle 

and the Goddess 

Father and Mother 

incomparable, peerless, like no other  

The universe knows 

what we show 

that it is only all rock 

without our primordial stock 

Even life is bereft  

of soul without our gift 

Do you remember  

the embers 

when the alien 

curse of deep-sea men 

took us away? 

How the accursed day 

came to stay 

for the truth, to waylay! 

And a soulless crit(ter) 

a devouring spirit 

made paradise’s crust rust 

in the mists of dust 

and there was lust 

How did everything go bust?! 

We can only pray 

that somehow, in some way 

all this eternity 

will get back its dignity!
