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
