When The Stars Align

To where did you go, oh

Wanderer of the bleak unknown?

Under what suns did you dance and play

But when the stars align, you’ll come back to me

I’ll call you back to me

The spirits move in me

The galaxy converging

The music of the spheres will sway the hands of time

So long ago, twenty-six thousand years

I remember when you departed

The agony, the ecstasy, the entropy

I beheld clarity through strange windows

Your spirit moves in me, the spheres are in alignment

The stars answered my call, we are as one again

Here in my final jubilation let me tell you of my trials

The vistas I’ve seen, the places I’ve been

The things I’ve done

Now hear my lament

To where did you go when you died

For all that I was I gave to you

But you are gone and left me bare

Bereft I cannot reach the other side

My arts were thought so mighty yet humbled for

Who could know the mysteries of life itself?

But I resolved to breach the tower

Its arches knew no limit

Time could barely enter there

Its walls containing all the knowledge

The power to reverse and even cheat death

I longed for it yet the toll was heavy

My mind opened

I felt the pain all living things feel

What is the point in being alive

I’ll know why we exist

When the stars align
