Across the skies
Across the land
A pall
Grey above and below
With patches of white above and below
Not enough to allow
Spirits more than a millimeter
Away from zero.
—
Souls across the planet
Of warm-blooded, plants,
Stones, and water, and the
Rest of the 10,000 things,
In earnest, heart-beaming to
Lift the curse,
A crazy anti-matter
Has neutralized the way of things.
—
AVAST! COMMENCE!
Shen Speaks
Golden energy beams like spotlights
Suddenly shoot outward
From the Earth’s core, across the globe.
Once they hit the end of the atmosphere
They angle laterally and all connect.
10,000 things revitalized and protected.
—
May it come to pass.
