Departing Words -

Suspended animation

Sensory deprivation

Swimming concoction of fond memories

Author of my destiny

Pacify indignation

With sublime intoxication

Blessed in this techno-ironic nirvana

Cursed by my hope for a safe return

These parting words are simple and few

Look to the stars and you will find my point of view

Life on Earth will be sublime

At the end of time

Just one moment for hesitation

Excommunicating self-imposed

Waiting out the world’s death throes

These parting words contain no lie

It’s anchors away and time to say our last good-bye

Life’s a garden overgrown

To be tamed alone

Suspended animation

Temporized calculation

Relative stillness yet starlight will burn

Abandon hope for a safe return

These parting words remain with you

Look to the stars and you will find my point of view

Life on Earth will be sublime and the end of time

Time is an all consuming fire fuelled with desire

Burning garden overgrown

You remain alone

And all that was ever seen hanging like a cloud of gravity

I dream of my departing words when I said

I’d given up on ever again believing that light lies beyond my sleeping eyes
