Everlasting Horizons

Unfurl wings woven with Icarus' dreams As the winds lull whispers of what grief has sown Through years of sorrow enamoured with deliverance Towards the Great Unknown Ballades concerning horizons anew Beneath you bless the breath of the vagrant wild For Hope is the one true deity Flawed as it may be, we remain its child We dream to dare beyond the Misanthropocene For all answers of meaning lie far beyond the Sun As within the Mysteries of what one is and yearns to be The path to be trod, from Ape to Man, Titan to God Is the One and the All, Death or Destiny Brew all the shadows we cast With all that should be praised And breathe, my son, at last As Homo deus On the shoulders of giants long past Beholders of guidance in us engraved Rise, my son, at last As Homo deus Seek to know To love, and to grow Cherish cognition, compassion and wisdom For somewhere between Hume and stoicism Therein lies the one true path to freedom So love most of the night, yet head South for the winter Away from that wistful valley where Man ate his bones 'Cross groves lost in candlelight, through the mouth of the River Stray 'midst the uncanny, land of the Great Unknown In Everlasting Horizons Brew all the shadows we cast With all that should be praised And breathe, my son, at last As Homo deus On the shoulders of giants long past Beholders of guidance in us engraved Rise, my son, at last As Homo deus Astride all tales of foreboding your forefathers told Ride farther into the light as exploding supernovae Know all wonders, wander far, wondering at what we are And if these words resonate, keep them to memory In Everlasting Horizons
