"Abstract Blue"
In the clearest skies, in the clouded skies
A spacious emptiness glissades along
It's there as a haze, it's there at sunrise
Even at sunfall, though never as long.
Shuttles on their way, ever on their way
Power by, never feeling the arcane
Travel by, never knowing they're astray
Airships sail near, yet can never remain.
As the avian drift, and keep their mind
The barrier stays in banks of white dye
And it's always missed, mirrors of their kind
It's never seen moving still like the sky.
So past the skies they'll build their forevers
And they'll be only of the finest lies
In other skies, great finite forevers
In other words, the farthest future cries.
Trapped by escaping as they ever try
Trapped in the eddy currents of each wake
Trapped by forgetting they're made of sky
Released when their souls serenade awake.
This dirge of centuries in a decade
This lament of proud satellites of black
As the hearts of a sacred heartbeat fade
As the day suns down on a blue whale's back.
