Author Notes:

Call it graffiti. signs, markings, or petroglyphs, humans often leave their traces. Frequently. it's to just to say, "I was here, as you are now." Sometimes they are religious. We often do the same in our writings and our books. We leave traces beyond our own mortality.

This poem is a Helical Harmony.
This is a form created by Gungalo.
It has a very complex structure. Here are her instructions:
Start with a beginning, 8-syllable quatrain that is monorhymed. The end rhymes from the first verse are the beginning words for the next verse, in reverse order, which will then have new end rhymes. These end rhymes similarly follow to be the first words of the next verse, and so on until the end. You may write as many verses as you would like, four being the minimum, making sure to end with mono-rhymes. Center align.

I have highlighted the rhymes here to better show the pattern.
