The guide knew his stuff and was really interesting.

The guide knew his stuff and was really interesting.

Turn with me

Look at the sky

Escape into its surprise

Take me with you

There is so much more to this

Than a glass raised in farewell

The further you look

The less you see

The emptiness is as vast

As the hole in the heart

Of the universe

Nothing moves

Until it is acted upon

There is no destiny

Just a never ending trigonometry

Bend me out of shape

We are all part

Of the exercise

When will the formulation

Be complete

You tell me

There is no end

To the music

Playing in sequence

The rhythm of creation

Is a continuum

We are designed

To respond to its familiarity

When all we see

Are a series of cyphers

Making meaning

Is as random

As positive recognition

In a sandstorm

But it can happen

With little more than a promise

Of perseverance

It is why we are here.
