of a new horizon,
we fix our gaze,
above the masquerade,
of near and dear,
beyond sublunary existence,
past the face of fear,

Years have I been traveling
The deep, dark, dreamy waters
Unraveling the babbling
Of prophets, fools, and martyrs

Sailing my ship of questions

Cosmic and terrestrial revelations
Become as enlightening as the stars.
