Souls Tilled Like Soil

Souls Tilled Like Soil

Whispers

of faded truths

are carved

from knowledge

while souls tilled like soil

unearth mysteries

and songs that

push to be voiced.

If our past is seared

across uncertain skies,

hearts will shred sun and stars

to redefine their limits.

Metal debris fills the space

that claims no one

while mankind points flags

to future spots

and is lifted from

disemboweled earth

to find Utopia

in a hidden reality.
