The tunes of time

I hear marvelous tunes.

I feel the vast depths of time—
something my bones can sense,
for I am here, dwelling below it all.

For hundreds of years, the spheres have whispered to me,
telling a story—
a story without an end.

It is the vast, unexplored mirror of pain and beauty,
where both exist together, inseparable.

Dance with me until the fall of Babylon.
From Venus to the Moon,
dance with me for the children of the world,
until our breath is finally taken.

Together we will dance with the spheres
and with the kings of old.

The violin continues to cry,
the saxophone rumbles deep within the soul,
and the guitars never fall silent.

These are the tunes of time—
where love fades,
yet the music never truly ends
Dance with me to the end of love.

The Skull of Hermes

We go through life
hoping to understand its meaning,
and in the end
all that remains
is hope for immortality.

The acorn becomes the oak,
and the seeds of wisdom
are cast into the ether of life
so that we may endure.

Life’s meaning
is nothing more
than the unknown shadow
of the human soul.

Take a leap of faith.
Aid those in need, as you will,
from beyond the grave,
in a perpetual state,
fulfill the duty of being human.

And come to the realization—
without erring—
that by doing so
you have helped your own self to
embrace the human soul.

With love to future generations.
