We, the impossible seeds of life<\/h3>\n

We, the impossible seeds of life,
\nWe Sing tales of days past
\nAs if it is not the present
\nWe are hoping to serenade.<\/p>\n

And We, the stewards of the land,
\nWe Sail over great bodies
\nAs if it is not our own brethren
\nIn the shadow of the hull.<\/p>\n

And We, the veins of the planet,
\nWe Make light of our feats
\nAs if we are not someone else’s future,
\nAs if our ancestors are not proud.<\/p>\n

And We, the heartbeat of the solar system,
\nWe Praise an endless sky
\nFor its impossibly absent borders,
\nAs if we ourselves are not just as vast.<\/p>\n

And We, The cells of the Milky Way,
\nWe Bask in the light of the sun
\nAs if it is not our own light
\nShining back at us.<\/p>\n
