Star Bound

See the world from the port
That boards you now
A vista
Far from the start

Stand Now
Star Bound
Millions of miles
Yet a flash away
From the crossroads
Of your Heart

Look right through
Society's ephemeral lens
Hold against the eternity
Of your soul

Watch spirits of presence pass
By at light speed
Sparking synapse of your mind
Recalling future memories

Sure as tides risen fall
Stars light fade
Great mountains birthed die
Dunes their wake
Drifting remembrance
Shattered days

Go deeper now
Into the fog
Of what’s called Reality
Can you find the line
Splitting space and time
Consciousness from dream

What is true
What's illusion
The great quest of the mind
Dropped by God
Each and own
Sort and decide

Still the spirit bangs along
Boundless ghost riding bent rails
Smokestacks and whistles
Echo distant din
Forever beckon home
Our ancient kin

Roll it over once more
In your mind
Find nothing as sold

Go Now
Star Bound
Where mountains bloom
Into spiral galaxies

Hold fast the moment
Squeeze tight then let slip hold
See nothing bound forever
But the illusion of time
