Nature

I don’t know what your thought 
As you faded from the universe, 
Did you wish you could be here for us 
Did you dream of what we’d become 
I wish I could tell you 
 
Your last few days were brilliant 
You accomplished so much 
For that short time 
Nothing else was brighter 
It is such a shame 
That we can never see them 
 
Without you 
There could be no life for us 
Everything we are came from you 
And it cost you so much 
Did you think we would ever know 
 
We drift in the void created 
By your violent expiration, 
We can only surmise what you were 
But we have heard the echoes 
And we know you are our true mother 
And your existence has not gone unnoticed

Mother, We Have Heard You
