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
