A Space Oddity

Can't shake this feeling - 
we've been here before.
Major View Deja Vu; 
lost a marble or two,
I think one was blue... 
can't ignore, won't abhor
this sensation of displacement,
from the norm;
four generations haunting primal vibrations.
Seeding the elements, freed from irrelevance;
arcing across our filaments, 
gonna weave, got to form 
from the aether
call down storms, dance with norns on icy morns
or with elves in the evening dew,
whisperin' secrets of the universe into the petals of a tulip -
an ice age or two couldn't cool her.
She was old school; Earth.
we were just kickin' up dirt -

Hers.

It was her beat,
her heart that pulsed beneath our feet
her blood that spewed upon the land
coalesced into obsidian only to be ground to sand

The Phoenicians couldn't hope to hold the winds
half as well as her magnetic meridians 
Her, we lost. 
To Oblivion!

Slipping the evidence of our origins 
between tectonic plates 
left behind, burning and burying the sense we'd have made
of their remnants, the unspoken tales they'd have told our descendants
we still;
sway to her tune of
transcendence. we will;
raise a glass in remembrance,
and toast to the Host of Ascendants
with outstretched hands reaching for the stars;

Won't be taken for granite.
Who needs a planet...
when the Galaxy is ours?
