mockingbirdgirl: Turquoise image by Melvin Moten Jr. The VoiceSarah TeasdaleAtoms as old as stars,Mutation on mutation,Millions and millions of cellsDividing yet still the same,From air and changing earth,From ancient Eastern rivers,From turquoise tropic seas,Unto myself I came.My spirit like my fleshSprang from a thousand sources,From cave-man, hunter and shepherd,From Karnak, Cyprus, Rome;The living thoughts in meSpring from dead men and women,Forgotten time out of mindAnd many as bubbles of foam.Here for a moment’s spaceInto the light out of darkness,I come and they come with meFinding words with my breath;From the wisdom of many life-timesSeek for Beauty, she onlyFights with man against Death! -- source link
