On the waters of forever

Through the mists of time and remembrance

We wander, each one of us alone

While eternity of stars wheels above us

While the earth beneath spins, and spins again

While the eons pass

We speak the slow and careful language

Of the universe

We taste its mysterious wonder

We weep the beautiful tears of suffering

As mortal lives flare briefly and are gone

A moment on the cosmos

While souls float forevermore

United at last

On the waters of creation
