Ripples Upon the Foreshore of Time

Footprints on the moon,

For Philosophy to resonate over time with each passing tribe.

It must stand alone and weather the ever-shifting sands of time.

It must be concrete, solid in its foundations,

In order to withstand the rigours of intellectual analysis,

While at the same time, it must support the pillars of our understanding

Of the world around us.

It will leave a message that will illuminate the architecture

Of our inner thoughts which in turn will reflect the spirit

Of who we were, as we passed through here once upon a time

As pilgrims on the plains of life’s journey.

It will leave our indelible footprints engraved upon the canyons of time

In the form of the written word.

The tribes that will follow, and time itself,

Will define its empirical value.
