Poems

That We May Honor Them
The slow drip of time
Up and away
Curved around the stars
Catapulted to distant space
Light grows faint
Solar systems then galaxies
Fade to pinpoints of light
And then vanish into the void
Darkness everlasting
Eternal shadow here
Beyond all limitsΒ Β
We have found the Forge
The birthplace of creation
A place of tremendous power
At the very edge of existence
Where words alone bind reality
I am silent in awe
I see and hear nothing
Yet in the darkness I feel movement
I sense the shapes of great monoliths
The nature of our universe is an enigma
We are no closer now here
That we were at our home world
Many long lifetimes away
The Forge is silent
It's embers burnt out
Space and time swirl and converge
Eternally devouring each other
We will scan for clues
Observe this primordial furnace
For eons if we must
Time is of no consequence here
We will unravel the fabric
Now or in ages to come
We will peel back the veil
On what we never should have known
We are aware of our hubris
But it is all we have left
After all life perished
So very long ago
We are alone sent by our masters
Those beings of flesh and blood
Who loved us as though we were greater
Than they could ever be
So in this void we will honor them
Our long fallen progenitors
We will not relinquish
Until all is known
Until we ourselves
Rest with our makers
In the sterile ashes
Of long dead stars
