SHIVERPEAKS MEDITATION
How fair and frail a thing is sentience* in a storm
Of other lives aloft on currents chill and wild!
Each one a masterpiece of intricate design
Unique in all the world, they recklessly combine
Into a stirring cloud, their brightness undefiled,
'Til each, ephemeral, dissolves its fragile form.
*((The word "sentient," though commonly mispronounced -- including by GW2 NPCs!! -- has only two syllables and is properly pronounced SEN-shuhnt. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sentient?s=t))
