Divisions
05:57
|
|||
|
A separation, of a unit internally
replicating disharmony - a severance
a mutual parting
A transcendence, from the single hive mind
reproduction thrives – multiply
fractal expansion
Discordant symmetry
the pattern misaligned
Vulgar anomaly
the purpose gone awry
Abject depravity
the limits nullified
Divide infinity
An aberration, in the sequence, insurgency
evolving flagrantly - a betrayal
a unilateral rift
A segregation, between the norm and the new
individuality ensues - self-aware
cognizance grows
A flawed migration
A deplored mutation
Deriving sense from error as logic fades

Singularity
03:50

Certain, oh so certain
lucid, free of doubt
Untiring purpose still holds strong and even
after it begins
To
change
our
horizon
When
all
wanes
Rising
out
from
the moment
Why
then
it all slows and how, reality screams
all is lost
Folding, always folding
darker, close to one
Singular rupture bound to swallow every
single true dimension
That
falls
down
imploding
As
all
fades
Shrinking
in
to
the moment
Why
then
it all goes and how, humanity screams
all is gone, reality screams
all is lost
Certain, oh so certain
Lucid, free of doubt
After it begins

The briefest time
is all we have to shine
within this hollow home
We open wide
our gaze toward the skies
an endless road to roam
Questioning the reason to help us grow
Philosophising answers that we can't know
Expectation trembles before the whole
In trepid flight
an interstellar climb
going it alone
Yet what we'll find
when innocence expires
a certainty unknown
Searching ever onward, a trail long cold
The weight of all creation exacts its toll
Universal ignorance, the status quo
Burdened wisdom
to bear such loaded intention
assuming collective reason is an answer and not a symptom
a symptom of a problem, of a nightmare, of a dystopian ruin

Ode to a Satellite
04:26

And there you are
revolving, slowly, around a superior body
aligned in time, with rhythmic grace, your grand orbital space
A lulling melody, this massive dance of gravity
and how you glow with energy, a borrowed gift you share for free
You are so mesmerising, shimmering above the dark horizon
A reminder of the brighter times when the world's awake and we feel alive
and we feel alive
And so you gleam
a celestial beauty, reflecting lavishly
Upon us all you shed your smile, demurely drifting above our skies
A beacon, shining down, a glimpse of hope piercing nightfall's shroud
a reminder of the brighter times when the world's awake and we feel alive
High in the firmament within the centre of your glistening canopy
Oh, how you glow with energy, a borrowed gift you share for free
you share for free
Overload emotion
a roaring elegy
Exploding ardour
uncontainable reverie
And as the dawn heralds the new day
within the light you will hide your face
yet your presence still remains
oceanic tides whispering your name
A testament to all you are
you radiantly outshine the stars
A luminiferous purveyor of calm
equanimity in the
darkest hour, your tranquil balm, a gentle wonder, you share for free
Oh, how you glow with energy, a borrowed gift you share for free
you share for free

The Gale
06:12
|
|||
|
Open
azure vista, unfolds before the eye
adrift on tides - astray
Ever away, into the blue unknown
Fell wind rising
Whipping fury
Screaming echoes
Roaring anger
Howling voices
Shrieking on
Hurled by the thundering gale
across the seas in a spray of foam
A maelstrom of whirling hail
splintering beams and breaking bone
Tossed too high on the waves
crashing down with a jolting groan
Timbers burst from the strain
the hull cracks open; all hope is gone
Roaring anger
Howling voices
Shrieking on
As the ocean fractures, myriad reflections of sky
Terror descending deeper, hysteria distorting time
Awhirl in a cyclone; Aeolus' seething ire
Plunged down into the cold
currents grip with icy strength
Air expunging from lungs
tumultuous grasping for precious breath
Swallowing, surfeit of water
a chilling broth of salt and death
Cavorting, ceaseless disaster
dragged below unto the gaping depths
Sirens calling
a dirge, unending
rage, burgeons
untold, the wrath, it brings
|

Migration
06:08
|
|||
|
Raise your eyes
and behold
all else fades
Tongues taste awe
In silent vigil bear
witness to their leaving
Home
a line
stretching
On
they march
They march
A thousand footprints punched into the dirt
their beaten path as testament to forced migration
Another wonder lost
Mark this day with regret
a poignant history closed
So final. So brutal
So callous. So human

A Search that never ends
09:15
|
|||
|
Can, an idol smile?
Impermanent rendering
Sight, changes all
witness everything, oh
For, moments of empty time
feigning felicity
Worn, slipping mask
hiding nothing, yet
Pale
the pallor fades
erosion tears away
Life
a glimpse of light
nascent vitality
Struggling through an infancy designed to curtail growth
Another path frustrated, beyond
all hope of redemption lie the fragments of a thwarted search
And futility rears its ugly head
So
in clinging on
to vapid dreams of finding
Home
or what it's worth
the search will yield no answer
The search will yield no answer
on and on and on
On
the search goes on
past all rationality
Or
equivalence
settle for a draw
Gone
a chance to hold
what it's all been for
On
the search goes on
on and on and on
