SilenceFloatingto the apex in reverie With only the sense to cast a single glance down down at the desolate, lifeless sphere that we once knew to be our home In this formless place outside the boundaries of time we exist without a future or past intermediate between form and void at the nexus of all stillborn worlds where rationality ceases Is this then our Paradise or the form of our perdition deprived of joy and sorrow alike countless millions are here adrift in harmonious dissolution at one with abstraction in the abyss of time we languish in infinite regret Lamenting the gulf that we never could hope to bridge the gulf between all that we ever were and all that we could have become brought to our knees by our predilection for self-destruction still this senseless guiding fallacy remained threads of our fate consumed in the cleansing fire and the ashes were cast to the cosmic wind "And it is said that that which ends us that must be our cure, To be no more; Sad cure for who would lose, Though full of pain this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander wander through Eternity, To perish rather swallowed up and lost In the wide womb of uncreated night Devoid of sense and motion" As one we bid farewell to our withered fountainhead As one we coalesce with the immaterial cosmic consciousness Boundless union of integrated minds With no monument to mark our passing We depart to dwell among the stars timelessly... in silence |
