Voyage of the Garganey I

Empty immensity defied
Matter splayed across the monochrome
Acting in the guise of a boundless void
And between them
Traces of the unknown lifelines
Every path of equal promise
As children we would scream
We wielded the weapon of ignorance
Dark bottomless wells of mindless hope
Filled through countless aeons of survival philosophy
Bring back the sin

See the stars
All out of our hands
Their silence burns
Solar winds
Pull on the alignment
The sky will turn

Life eternal
In the hands of so few
At the cost of our dreams
We are in the throes of expectancy
And violent consternation

Low is my light
In this void
All cells are silent
Adroit

As children we would scream
We wielded the weapon of ignorance

Slow is my flight
Through this void
The worlds I imagined
Carry me home
