I descend while blue sky darken
As you ascend from dirt brown
Taking with you on this upward climb
The very essence of our existence
.......................................I Struggle
I descend with a stroke of wisdom
Knowing that the ink in this very able pen
Can mark out fiction and imagine science as a beginning
Understanding emptiness without conscious narratives
Comprehension engraved by your being
.................................................................I Strive
I descend when the hours are gone
Wishing minutes were malleable
In time I take hold realizing the legacy
Not on paper but within generations
Let not the measure of your character be gone
..........................................................I Strain
I descend respect towards your bones
Asking for guidance as you lead on
Rays of light inscribe your name
As clocks wait this moment
I reach for "Kindred" and remember
.................................................I SEEK
Ancestors'
