(THE VAPORS)
THE SOUND...
From the mist we came... We with so much to convey.
We thrust into the midst of such a hectic situation.
Kill or be killed, in your arms I a man found comfort.
In the most savage of situations you calmed the beast... I with the potential to be savior or demon.
I seeking you in the throngs of billions.
Two stars shining in panoramic view as we revolved on a miniscule rock.
We but two particles of carbon and water blessed with this gift... This thing called life.
A hundredth of a second... A gasp... A cry... A breath.
A brush of fingertips as we reach for each other's hands.
A mashing of lips as we kiss.
A melding of souls as we mate.
We passing on these things we have learned.
We melting back into the mist as we dissipate.
Remnants of love lingering in our wake.
