I just ate some thousand year old snow

To end its race through time and space

Down to the sea below

The glaciers themselves may slowly wane

It's not my friend how it all ends

Their time may come again

Earth's slow to move but what's that prove

What's the utility

Our lives proceed at faster speeds

It's all just relativity

 

I just saw some thousand year old light

Stretched out far from a river of stars

Embedded in the night

Streaming off at light speed to the void.

No one inclined to pay it mind

Pristine unalloyed

We cannot race that frantic pace

We're trapped here by our speed

but minds expand where're they can

We have that inner driving need.

Physical limitations

Can't keep us in our stead

Mental intimations

Can drive us on so far beyond

Our thoughts have gone ahead

 

I just plucked a fossil from the clay

100 million years have passed

Since that poor creature breathed its last

There really isn't  much more I can say

The span of time's beyond our ken

We're on that carousel again

 

Physical limitations

Can't keep us in our stead

Mental intimations

Can drive us on so far beyond

Our thoughts have gone ahead
