THAUMATURGIC TAPESTRY

Oh, this wondrous fabric of history,

Weaving from my mind,

Flowing from my quill,

This magic,

As brain instructs hand,

To speak words of ink,

A world,

Floating in space,

So beautiful,

A miracle of creation,

Centuries past,

In many ways so different,

Yet knitted neatly together,

These stepping stones,

To humankind's future,

These time-worn mirrors,

Allowing us to look back,

Watching ancestor,

Pounding stone into wheel,

Spinning stick into fire,

Seeing the birth of innovation,

The wonders of nature,

This miraculous tapestry of our lives,

Learning just recently to fly,

Through life giving air,

Even soaring in a vacuum,

Called space,

Only decades ago unreachable,

What a magical time,

Visions sent through thin air,

Our voices,

Spoken softly,

Yet heard clearly,

Around the Earth,

We've been given the tools,

To forge our own destiny,

Let's use them for good,

Then our eternal destiny,

Will be complete.
