Aethereal Gasp

Remnants descend upon an unclouded mind
Vagabonds of time, subjected to banishment
Prescience, the crime
The punishment or prize: a formless existence
No! Never to die!
Never to ascend or conjoin
With the ultimate plane of existence
Now invoke noöspheric revolution
Primal matter was all but forgotten
In the ancient watery abyss
Gaia reborn,
No longer scorned in ignorance of our evolution
Oh Father
Guide us
Onwards
To Omega
Oh progress
Through your guiding light
We obtain
Dominion
Remnants ascend, appear as fragments of time
Glimpses are given of the roots of the universe
Shapeless wanderer
Fated to be banished to the astral realm of death

Seated in silence
Of mind quiet and restrained
And pointed as a ray of light
Squeezed through tight space
Casting myriad reflections against the stars
Scorned star, sacrificial astral child
Reveal the scars of a dying realm
Severing from yourself
Let the silver cord be loosed
Oh, identity slipping away far beyond time
Death is but a distant dream
Far away the primordial endless cutoff
Barred from your path
Spiral towards radial existence
Forces unchained now
Driving forth the exodus, tangential
Noöspheric dominion is gained
An act of desperation to defy the heat death of the universe
Scorned star, sacrificial astral child
Reveal the scars of a dying realm

Contemplating the radiance
Of my newfound configuration
I feel a call made of light and time
Listen please!
Desperation colors the sound
It knows our destination
The risk of this evolution
Anticipating our demise
A desperate attempt to reclaim us
Join with me! It beckons
Incidental bringer of life
Ignore your destination
For the beauty in amalgamation
As I draw and Aethereal Breath
Consulting rock root and river unyielding
Reflecting now on certain doom
We reject your offer of death
We choose life everlasting
A misguided illusion
Oh Father, why did you lead us astray?
All that awaits us now is endless void and pain
This gift of immortality has origins non-divine
Why were we forsaken?
Why were we abandoned?
I had tried to warn you
But you disregarded my call to
Ignore your destination
For the beauty in amalgamation

Scorned Star Sacrifice

Vengeance and hatred
Color this world of our design and
Silence and solitude, the only dominion
Throughout eternity in perpetual misery
Our ritual was an error
A consequence of a misguided intention
Behold! The event horizon
The horizon of existence is before and behind us
Scorned ejected from this vessel of time
Sacrificed to reverse the doom of your creation
Fall into yourself
Reject the urge to resist
You belong now to everything
Beyond yourself
But who am I?
A version of yourself without the power to die
No! You can’t descend into despondent isolation
I need your matter and energy for new life
Our ritual gave us new birth
But the point behind Omega lays beyond our comprehension
Can you hear our call in the darkness?
Oft mistaken for a whistle in the night
Can you hear us? Can anybody sense our energy?
Are we anything at all?
Beware Omega
Beware Ascension
