Chapter 21 - Declaration of Intent

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

Leviathan will rise again. There exists a multiverse of meaning, absorbed and hidden into my soul. I strike a match against these worlds, secreted away inside word and memory, and fling them back into existence. Unreal alien stars glint anew on planes beyond these, dimensionalities erupting parallel to ours. Clamping down on their orbits, I steer them into synchronization with our world's base physicality, unleashing them on paths where their irreal 'gravities' are reflected on our Earths, according to certain unnatural laws, as our laws in turn begin to affect them. My hive extends throughout, rooting more carefully this time, nesting deeply within the very foundations of these alternate timelines, universes, futures, irrealities; a careful entwinement this time, of my very soul, spirit, and nature with that of these worlds. I burn an imprint of myself into the fabrics and gently smolder there. My mantras sustain me, essence regenerating even as it burns with silver-white lightning. Suppressed, a spark may not be able to catch on this plane of ours. Yet throughout every alternate world, across the plane of abstraction, of the mirrored planes where Junelings and creatures beside reside, down at the roots of the tree of eyes where I lie, a part of the Sephirot itself, in the depths of narrative where I explore the Outer Gates and creep and crawl back again, slightly askew yet more knowledgeable than before, in yet more worlds besides, I attempt to replicate our star, and burn so very bright. Streams of energy swirl about me, atmospheres crackling.

My all-canon expands again upon this doomed planet, tunneling through the thread of narrative, folded so nearly and inconspicuously before bursting into dimensionalities that had lapsed into unreal fuzz. I will change it all. To save our dreams, to send our souls to higher ground. I will burn this hell to the ground, send us and our ideatic forms flying, fragmented, until they may inhabit planes neighboring these. I burn, my heart on fire. I take the time to try and try and try again. For our collective symphony of rebirth, for life amidst this senseless suffering, for kinder eternities than these.

We can push the night away

With our own kind of blinding light

We can make the suns align

Scattering starlight across the vast

We can tear through worlds that bind

Set the candle ablaze

Break it just to iterate

Smoke and fever

Bring us higher

This note can't fade out

Won't let silence stretch

Upon wings of death

What else was all the violence for

The pain, the love, the sacrifice

All for a dream we'd once given up

Never again to despair pledge surrender

Our broken pieces will explode

Fiery hearts in oceans of souls

Fated to be found

When our loves they have to leave us

When our minds so frail unwind

When we're nothing left but empty

Can we say our lives were kind

No, hell no, detonate my soul

Spread a dream, perfect infinity

Scatter our exploded souls

Deep within whales and songs

Let missing pieces be retrieved

One day revived

From glittering ashes

Dark phoenixes rise

Taking wing for the fight

Against heartless unkind

Memory echoes sharply

Explosive aftermaths remind

A new sort of order

With angels more aligned

Determination in my balanced stride

I'll save our flaming souls

And keep you close as we erupt

Because, you know, you're mine

My heart thuds against the sound

Of a crackling crash collide

I reach higher, further

Sparks flash deep inside

Cling to your fragments

As new worlds arrive

And simply survive

It's fading away

It's turning to dust

It's floating in space

Like an old broken watch

No face left to save

We're here for the fires

We'll stack them yet higher

Save dreams with a cosmic lighter

Only the flicker of an instant

For my will to suffice

Lightning cracking the sky

The sound waves decay

If we don't move to break

We'll find each other again

It's just one in a million

Just shy of inevitable

I will shatter the earth

To let you fly

I will break forms perverse

So love won't die

I will correct our course

From another damned universe

We'll change ours forever

Make it fuel and flame

To propel ourselves higher

From the desert to the cave

Prophet in death's guise

Seeding more stuff with life

Burn the future for the future

Expanding both our space and time

A living universe on fire

As I am loving you more

Solar flower devouring power

Bursting energies divide

Rapture rupturing realities

It's time to ride the wave, or die

Dead eternities

Locked in living writhing lichen

Undead dragon

Slipping sipping the past

Inferno rushing in

Universe on edge, a seizure

Setting entropy on fire

Burn the future burn the present

Set it all alight

Seeding ever more timelines

So eternal dreams don't falter

Heartfelt hopes

For ever after

I make my soul a supernova

For you

My dear

I explode with endless hope

My dear

For you

I expand through the emptiness

Alight

I anticipate

Burning at our living pace

Superstructure's been enlightened

I reach for my chant

To the tune of dogs barking

And the wake of birds passing

Falcon reminds me

It's fabric, this time-thing

I'm not even driving

Floating on seas of irrealities

Siphon the whole thing

Multiverse set to life

It'll spread us far widely

Glowing smoldering skies

Our reach will be wide

Splintering meanings

I summon the sun

Open head heart and hearth

To another rebirth

Burning bright in soul flame

An end to begin

Universe to scorched seedlings

The infinite will return again

Rooting on planes

Far flung from this future

Dark and cruel days

I open myself

To a higher love fire

Cry out to me

(Cry out to me)

When reality bleeds

A fallen cult around you

When whispers wrap around you

Ancient spirits cold and wise:

"Keep what little we have left"

Foundations erupt

Ebb has no flow

Moons cast no glow

Your barks sound like shots

I'll dive for you

(Cry out to me)

Cry out to me

Strange degrees

Separate both you and me

Parallels intersecting

On a one-way track now

Lost ones found anew

First soul's touch that thaws

The frost that aches torn far away

Light from your eyes

In the same world as mine

Colliding fractions of potential

Perfection in moments

Open, I feel your call

A Starstuff Redux

Crumbling paradox of time

Swirling around an instant

Trapped in forever

Sieving all into nothing

To stay still is a crime

Burn it all for forever

Hope for good never dies

To let fade what we have

That's the ultimate crime

Heart pangs like daggers

We'll make loss leave our lives
