Reach Beyond the Stars

 

We cast our towers to the sky,

Our iron spires, our whispered lie,

That we might hold the stars in hand,

And rule where gods alone should stand.


With numbers, charts, and ceaseless schemes,

We pierce the dark with gilded dreams,

Proclaiming space shall bend and bow,

As if it heeds our fleeting vow.


The void is vast, the light is old,

The echoes sung by suns grown cold.

Yet still we launch, and still we climb,

Defying time—defying time.


Though light itself may mark our pace,

We crawl across unyielding space,

For even at our fleetest flight,

The stars recede beyond our sight.


We claim the dust, the barren stone,

And plant our flags where none have flown,

As if the black, eternal deep

Would care who wakes and who must sleep.


But space is wide, and we are small,

A flicker in the endless sprawl.

And long beyond our final breath,

The stars shall shine, unmoved by death.
