Star story
That the rose too
has its own narrative
it’s ancestral roots
a species of beauty
that did not evolve
from thin air
but from the same
basic building blocks
from which our own
ancestors were created
an immanence present
at the dawn of creation
particles of energy
transformed into mass
and so the universe itself
is family tree
and infinite displacement
of inertia
human beings
who have the sense
to set the rose
upon a pedestal
John Lyons
