stars long forgotten.
We are made of clay and dust;
atoms formed of small things that rode the light of the Firmament.

We
descend from fossils of lives beyond memory and Time;
birthed here, of the Big Bang, we crawled out of the ashes of Earth,
tempered by Air and Fire, the vast expanse of Waters.

We
are flesh and fluids, both soft and hard, animal and mineral;
and we are made of oceans as our tears, and the sweat of our brows are salt.
