The Red Giant Stirs
15:40
|
|||
The red giant stirs.
The sun is expanding.
My alarm sounds.
This planet is done.
I watch my sun burn.
The planet will die.
The spaceship shudders,
the heat shield strains.
Beyond Pluto I watch
the Earth break apart.
What makes me human is gone.
I am alone.
Here in open space my path is free.
I am the traveler.
The sun boils and quakes.
The super nova is imminent.
I scan for her ship,
no life signs but mine.
Did she make it?
Is Anomoly alive?
My sun explodes,
a split second to react.
I abandon the search.
The universe is my domain.
Without her,
I roam the void.
I am the traveler.

An Epiphany Near Vega 9
09:41
|
|||
Now your heart lays prone
on your sleeve.
And you start to believe
that everything you see
is not what’s real.
And there’s nothing left
that you can feel.
So you sit right down
and let the world fly by.
Although there’s nothing left to do
and everything you think’s been said
a million times before.
There’s still a small space you left inside.
Untouched by your all-consuming pride.
So empty your ridiculous shelf
of all those books you never read,
and find a new place to hide.
Now I know your mind it aches
and your heart is shattered.
So you better let it all go
and start everything all over again.

The Caves of Anamnesis
19:19
|
|||
Hovering over ancient planes
and sun-bleached valleys.
His invisible ship idles
while he scans for life.
And in a small mountain cave,
writing in his ancient tomes,
counting out eons,
He finds the Traveler.
So the Traveler lifts up his arms
and beckons the invisible ship.
So with fear in his heart
and awe in his mind,
he enters the cave.
But the traveler ends his fears,
lays his ancient hands on his head,
and gives him the key to all knowledge.

R.I.P. Rip
12:16
|
|||
Sun and sand, like ocean waves,
lap at his blistered feet.
Well he has nowhere to go
and everywhere is the same.
But still, he must move on.
And every eye that catches his
And every thought that flutters by
Must quickly turn away
And they say time waits for no man
But he’s still here alone
Wondering if he’ll ever make it back home
So many stars circle the sky
Yet they all seem to pass
in the blink of an eye
Then shatter like so much glass.
I’ve done so many things I regret
I’ve seen things I’ll never forget
But my last thoughts are of her
Sweet Anomoly, my daughter
I hope her world is a better place
And I hope she’ll remember my face
After I am dead and gone
It will be her turn to sing a new song.
No matter what he says
Or what he does
He’s instantly forgotten
Loved ones and strangers alike
Have forgotten the taste
Of his name on their lips
And they say time waits for no man
But he’s still here alone
Wondering if he’ll ever make it back home
I’ve done so many things I regret
I’ve seen things I’ll never forget
But my last thoughts are of her
Sweet Anomoly, my daughter
I hope her world is a better place
And I hope she’ll remember my face
After I am dead and gone
It will be her turn to sing a new song.
So many stars circle the sky
Yet they all seem to pass
in the blink of an eye
Then shatter like so much glass.
At night when he chases sleep
His mind looks back to time gone
And people he’s known swallowed by the deep
Never again to the dawn
But he’s seen countless sunrises
And sung the same old song
Until finally he realizes
He’s been after death all along
So he locks the controls
His journey won’t be far
He’ll try to meet old souls
In the center of a star.
