Life started with the leaving footprint
of a man treading across the stars.
He jumped from planet to planet
leaving life in his footsteps,
the mud on his boot from his
primordial world.
He leaps from planet to planet
and life echoes in his wake,
and death too,
death was his gift,
the crushing force of his foot pressed,
so we do not have to wander
and leap forever through eternity,
but merely exist,
and know that we live
because of those primordial footsteps
and will one day follow
onward, into the cosmic abyss.
