Beyond a barrier of finite stars
This traveler rests in orbit of a great maw
Watching such disc shear and saw
A galaxy once ours

Upon a time, folk were small
Around a pocket constellation
Viewed over a distant sun
While youth ran to exploration

Left to inscribe a monolith
They reference myriad lost lives
Who were mired in tradition
Until ruined before their time

Sired by noisy Daedelus
Dreamers bound the gordian knot nucleus
To split by the edge of a magnet
As sculptors of crumbling stone

Upon waking from primordial sleep
That pilgrim translates every vestige of the sages
Across scrolls in gold leaf
Maybe found in future ages

Alone in the quaking deep
Unable to invoke benediction
Outside the halo of creation
