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
