|
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 |
