"Voices"
By Alan Dean Foster
By Alan Dean Foster
Incline an ear to the whispering of the Past.
Avian gossip masks the deep secrets as
Pale green ghosts run the chartreuse canyons.
A fecund arpeggio, the thick humus bubbles and seethes
Of spore and seed, mold and decay, rot and rebirth.
Incline an ear, sit quiet on a smooth stone; listen.
Beneath the strangler fig, beneath the moss-bedecked
Amaranth,
Across the smoky quartz, tannin-spiced brook
The raw rock speaks
Of those who came before
Now become memory, and whispers of memory
Rain-worn and melted, chased like silver
Flesh becomes dust, laughter becomes wind, tears
Become sky; all fled.
Listen…

Avian gossip masks the deep secrets as
Pale green ghosts run the chartreuse canyons.
A fecund arpeggio, the thick humus bubbles and seethes
Of spore and seed, mold and decay, rot and rebirth.
Incline an ear, sit quiet on a smooth stone; listen.
Beneath the strangler fig, beneath the moss-bedecked
Amaranth,
Across the smoky quartz, tannin-spiced brook
The raw rock speaks
Of those who came before
Now become memory, and whispers of memory
Rain-worn and melted, chased like silver
Flesh becomes dust, laughter becomes wind, tears
Become sky; all fled.
