The astral bodies
|
Assembled as one
|
At the call of irrevocable fate
|
The celestial gathering
|
Once more sent forth
|
In a brilliant volley of flame
|
Forging new paths
|
Along the worn landscape of eternity
|
Millions of years are but seconds
|
In the continuum of forever
|
Fallen leaves crumble into dust
|
Fade into the mausoleum
|
Of memories forgotten
|
We have grasped at the cosmic puzzle laid before us
|
Impatient newborns surrounded by dignified giants
|
The scope of our tears
|
Would transform valleys into oceans
|
A feeble attempt to clutch the fragment
|
That lies forever beyond
|
Each event shares with its sisters
|
As all seasons overlap
|
Spatial boundaries superimposed
|
In the unfathomable and infinite
|
Expanse of time
|
Eons of stone dissolve as we wither
|
Leaving no trace of existence
|
Cracks on the faded canvas of history
|
That languishes alone
|
A divine ceremony commencing all
|
Walks upon the frayed path of destruction
|
And the annihilation watches enviously
|
Awaiting its turn once more
|
The weight of centuries
|
Impedes our steps
|
Towards the precipice of eternity
|
As we succumb to unchanging forces of attraction
|
Our attempts to manipulate the tempest prove unsound
|
Yet we trudge onward
|
Rolling our ponderous cargo before us
|
Until time and space caress each other once more
|
A new chapter forever unfolds
|
Before the vacant theater of the stars...
|
Luminous vapor, shining haze
|
Invisible yet ever-present
|
Slowly slips into the past
|
Along the continuum of forever
|
