little particles of energy comprised
of negative and positive ions
bits and pieces of matter
that float and blaze around us
unseen and unremarked
small mementos of who
and what we were the cycle unbroken
and yet every now and then
they are focused
their power at once realized
aflame not in the ethers
but in the spoken word
it's like a blessing
this reanimation of that which was
still is and ever shall be
