Russian Dolls

The waves are flowing out to space
Carrying the loveliest of human beauty,
And the most sorrowful mysteries of mankind
Into the ether and the farthest reaches:
Angelic voices and holy chords
Television, radio, and x-ray
A swelling wave of human ingenuity
Never stopping on its way
Back into the universe beaming
Goes the love we were vested with
Love converted once again
Into cosmic radiation
To help ignite the new creations
Incipient explosion.
