#poem, “A Million Years”

(“Miami”/by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

A MILLION YEARS

I came from stars.
Frequencies that move space
like neural synapses
in a cosmic lobe.
Sound, light,
intelligence.

And I have been here,
like a grain of sand
that on a lonely beach
is holding back the tides.
One million years.
Observing and reporting.

Perhaps it’s time to make my way
back home.
But my frequency is lost.
I think I’ve been ignored.
Forgotten.
My light has flown through space.
I’m not the one arrived.

But sand on a beach
is never static.
Another wave
and I will be a river
moved by the sea.

Valencia, Espana, 17 JUN 2026, Francisco Bravo Cabrera

    This is a deeply evocative and cosmic meditation on existence, identity, and return.

    The opening lines immediately establish a vast, almost spiritual scale—linking stars, frequency, and consciousness in a way that feels both scientific and poetic. The contrast between cosmic origin and the “grain of sand” creates a powerful tension between infinity and fragility.
