For Steven Jones, the authors of the Active Thermitic Material paper, and Isaiah 29

Your Speech Shall Whisper Out of the Dust

All returns to earth and clay
The living, sky, waters,
The fires.

Consumed by processes
The earth speaks through sounds and motions
Guided by prophesies.

Atomized lives mingle with earth stopped torments,
Quieted, except the sounds let loose through
Desire.

Those sounds, those whispers…

Your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

Fine particles of thought and emotion
Smaller than electrons find pathways
To those who give thanks, those who connect to time before.
All that is time, is sacred.

Your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

Life happens because of connection.
Connection is the thread transcendent.
Connection leads to what is and what can be.

The time has arrived.
Connection speaks. The earth speaks.

Revealed is the story of what is and what was.

Your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
