Soundless, all quiet they came
Faster than lightning strikes
Racing northwards like a plague
Straight from the deeps to the skies
Straight through the rock and the dirt
Through the forces of life and of d**h
Straight through the first cries of newborns
And the terminal patient's last breath
This is how they have remade me
This is how they made me see
This is how I came to see what is there
– within all of them as in me
