I Peer through the Centuries

I peer through the centuries,
looking for what?
For patterns, relationships,
and histories.
Do I find them?
Oh, yes,
too many
to count.

Out of the past
grows the present,
and we will birth
an alien future.

What Are We to Nature / ᎦᏙᎤᏍᏗ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎬᏩᎣ ᏗᏜ

What are we to Nature,
but something to carry life
into all the dark corners
of the universe?

And there,
we shall succeed.

ᎦᏙᎤᏍᏗ ᎢᏧᎳ ᎬᏩᎣ ᏗᏜ,
ᎾᏍᎩ-ᎤᏩᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ
ᎠᏫᏛᏗ ᎥᎴᏂᏙᎲᏁ
ᏂᎦᏛ ᎤᎳᏏᎩ ᎤᏅᏏᏴᏗ ᎾᎿᎢ
ᏂᎦᏛᎣ ᎥᎿᎢ?

ᎠᎴ Ꮎ ᎭᏫᎾ,
ᎢᏧᎳ ᎤᏍᏆᏛᎰᏎ.
