fading… (draft)

echoes of passages
inscribed in burning letters
on a stone
on a mountain
thousands of years ago

afterimages
caught in the collective view
from staring too long
fading slowly from sight
half-remembered and half-imagined
to haunt our waking dreams

fading…

memories of thunder
of lightning
of booming words
of shaking earth
tales of revelation
retold by father to son
by mother to daughter
till all is lost in fog

fading…

i want
to burn
to hear
to see
to touch

i want
to have
to know
faith…
