Xul

On its hometown of Xul, the Astrarian speaks.
Stifled by the hollow, it receives nary a peek.
Nestled in a cocoon of reverberating sanity,
At one came a thought to shed away vanity.
What was heard was a call from a far away land:
"Come once, come hither... its just a few grains of sand!"
Determined not to wither, with passion all drunk,
The Astrarian likened to stuffing its life in the trunk.
Regretful for leaving, but hoping to thrive,
Nightfall awakens to greet its next to arrive.

Liftoff

Preparing for liftoff aboard the almighty tower.
The lone inhabitant rests upon its pinnacle of power.
With the roar of preparation behind, and every button and knob.
A sudden silence commenced, save the beats of the hearts that would throb.
And then at once with a rush, came the sky like a sea that was parted.
The gleaming silver vessel is launched out to places yet uncharted.

And we find ourselves awakened to life on the road,
As the Astrarian gets acquainted to its humble abode.
If even there came a time for there to be care or despair,
In the company of celestial bodies, these cares are thin as air.
But then came a gasp, drowned by the vacuum of space,
Enveloped by destiny, time started to sharpen its pace.
Now swallowed into the great belly of the wormhole,
The once adventurous call would test our hero to save its soul.
When the agony subsided, and hope and fate reunited,
On the other side of the universe, our true destination has yet to be sighted.

Galaxy/Reaching
04:02
|
|||
|
Adrift in a sea of endless night,
Impatient to seize why nothing had gone right.
Numb to the vacuous sensation of this empty calamity,
The Astrarian floats on, no longer in the company of hope nor sanity.
And then the inevitable came,
a feeling washes over of dread and then shame.
In a microscopic capsule of infinite unimportance,
Our hero is lost to the indifferent forever which nothingness portends.
When an eternity had passed by,
Sure in the acceptance of having no sky.
Time continues to march inward,
as fate determines to look skyward.

Graylien
04:10
|
|||
|
On a routine shuttle mission among the rings of Saturn,
Humanity discovered the unmistakable pattern:
The Xulian in gray, unconscious in its ship,
Despite the warning beacon of the foreign human blip.
When the two ships united,
Graylien was invited
Back to the relief of our great planet,
Welcomed by all those who inhabit.
That year began the great intergalactic celebration,
And the most joyful era of dancing that has existed since creation.
