We blink into existence, 
Emerging from cosmic abyss 
Echoing a symphony of stardust 
and infinite potential.
Descendants of stars 
charged with the energy of the cosmos.

Our experience begins at a molecular level, 
and expands through galaxies.
At this simplified moment, 
we are but vessels of life
breathing in the world's wonders,
and exhaling our unique existence into the universe.

We are the soil the plants grew from, 
the streams the animals drink from.
Yet stripped of everything held by Ego
we are only but muscle, bone, breath, 
and a skull on top of  it all.
 
Our time here is but a flash of a fiery light
brief, brilliant, and then gone 

We are animated meat cubes. 
Don't take it too seriously.
