Beckoning, the abyss roars behind

All-consuming nexus of might

Falling, observing am I

Ascending, transcending space and time

Traversing the deafening divide

I soar towards the gateway inside



Therein storm long-confined

Elements, chaos, and light

Seething for aeons bright

A thousandfold intensified



Mortal flesh cast aside

Eternity before my eyes

Passing through the paradigm

I behold, but dare not describe

The midnight heavens whisper in tongues of ancient light

Their sources now transfigured through aeons long gone by



Innumerable worlds with atmospheres untold

Frigid peaks and landscapes, volcanic afterglow

Waters encircling with stirrings of life

Proliferations that gradually give rise



The stars attended by their creations

Harnessed by elder civilizations

Forging the cosmos through splendrous ruination

Sowing their substance for distant generations



Stars die, worlds form, life arises and falls



The galaxies in their billions, spirals and spheres

With wings of woven stars inclined to cohere

Structures of sidereal light merging as one

With myriads of alien worlds awakening, orbiting their suns



Within this existence and cosmos so vast

We are nothing, as is our past

Observing their motions and workings from afar

With reverence, with worship, with wonder, I fathom the stars

Absolute cold

Unending nonexistence

Desolate spaces

Forsaken and hopeless



Immensity boundless

Sightless and soundless

Lightless, Lifeless

Unfathomable nothingness



Colossal cosmic desert

Void vacuum of night



With no trace of origins

Descendants of consciousness

Still search for answers

Looking to empty skies



Adrift in blackest of oceans, the waning islands of light

Have departed all horizons, forever out of sight

Hollow and fated, existence obscures

The prefabricated illusion of will

There are no saviours, and death is ensured

Every thought instilled



Hope is fruitless and purpose is blind

Drawing veils over our eyes

Over nothing our choices preside

We are born and we die



Where the seas meet the skies

Between the trees and mountainsides

I may breathe, may resign

The stifling dream may subside

But clarity returns with time

All of this will fade from sight



Sentenced to serve, our futures await

Not that we deserve to deviate

Follow the herd, do not be afraid

The release of death unravels the way



Illusions of will, our thoughts are instilled

Existence obscures, death is ensured

With veils over our eyes, we are born and we die
