8571 Mysterious Connection II
[by S. David] [art by Tarak Mahadi]

To constrain it
To behold
Its challenge
Its defiance
For it lives
No matter
Blindly it
Seeks the light
Knowing in
Its gut
Its heart
It genes
The checkerboard
Flow
Of dark
And light
Of day
And night
And seasons
Knowing
Defying
It must die
The Sands
Of Time
Govern it
Governs all
Its measure
Varies
For each
For each
Its own time
Is relative
Yet time must
The Heavens
The earth
And all
Their flow
Of time
Differs
Yet in the end
Connects all
Connects all
