Stalled at the intersection of now and eternity
Hanging on to rapidly vanishing solidity
Roaming through high definition dreamlands
Uprooted from every stand
Losing too much in the details
Haunted by disappearing trails —
We arrive and depart, stop and start
Doing our time playing our part
Sleeping through most of the scenes.
When we awaken from a dream,
What distance have we crossed?
When we awaken, what is lost?
The deathbed but a cradle
Newborns gumming at the edge

If it seems we’ve been here before
It’s because there’s nowhere else to go
We are Eternity’s gypsies
Clinging to ghostly solidity
Drunk on amnesia’s anaesthesia
A lifetime cupped in one frozen moment
Suspended in a droplet of forever
Ambered epiphanies eluding memory
Hinting at a mind-shattering enormity
We arrive and depart, stop and start
Doing our time playing our part
Playing peekaboo with absolute Mystery
Finding ourselves everywhen and everywhere
As we make history and history makes us
