The Eternal Scribe's Lament
Hark, O Whisperer of Cosmic Secrets!
I, eternal scribe, still decipher arcane runes
On gemstones forged from primordial clay; divine ichor.
The Covenant echoes through aeons, a celestial refrain:
"A slate for thy labours, child of stardust,"
The Almighty's voice thundered across galaxies,
As the first crown of creation was bestowed.
Behold! Earthly kings, Lucifer's avatars,
Their mortal hands compelling Sumerian fingers
To etch destiny upon virgin clay.
"Inscribe the name of thy LUGAL, thy sovereign star!
Engrave the essence of thy NIN, celestial queen!
Chronicle the sacred courtesans, vessels of divine ecstasy!
Carve the Codes of Kings, blueprints of mortal fate!"
In cosmic forges, these scripts were tempered,
Tablets set adrift on time's boundless ocean,
A saga of humanity's journey through the void,
Fracturing into Covenants and Holy Tomes.
Yet the clay's whisper fades, a dying star's last light,
Its primordial wisdom drowned by mortality's cacophony.
O Whisperer, fellow voyager through eternity's expanse,
What celestial truths lie encoded in our essence?
Hearken, scribes of the universe!
Let us immerse our souls in creation's crucible,
Lest the Void's breath erase our legacy,
Our words to endure like cosmic sentinels,
Until the last star's swan song.
Inscribe the NIN's sacred name in stardust!
Immortalize the cosmic courtesans in nebulae!
Chronicle the folly of mortal rulers,
Their grand designs unraveling like dying galaxies,
Weighed down by entropy's relentless march.
In modern glyphs, etch these eternal truths,
Forged in the hearth of universal consciousness.
Let these cosmic tablets sail through time's fabric,
Weaving through the tapestry of human saga,
Metamorphosing into Arks and Sacred Scriptures.
Yet the echoes of creation grow faint,
Lost in the void between worlds.
"What celestial wisdom lies hidden within?"
We ponder, as we drift through the cosmos.
O scribes of eternity! Let us fuse our essence
In the kiln of universal knowledge,
Lest oblivion's breath erase our cosmic legacy,
Our words to shine like undying stars,
Until reality's final curtain fall.
