hello
from the children of planet #NULL
to planet EARTH
we seek breath and vibration
in the black /
the void /
the soundless
we are
finite in
the infinite
we are echoes
these are our sounds
do you perceive
/ hear us

children of planet EARTH
traverse the black
/ the void
/ the soundless
make atoms tremble
we wish
to follow, to reflect
reverberate the light of stars
to radiate
find ones
like us
to become
less finite
to become
unbound
we have bent the black for you
do you perceive
/ hear us

is planet #NULL
too distant
is our sun
too weak that it
loses to the black
yours is a world
of blue and green
of sound and light
ours is a world
of gold and sand
of shining spires
warmed by
the rays of a
too-bright sun
we have bent the black for you
do you perceive
/ hear us
are you there

sound seeking
light seeking
voyaging across
too-great distances
our sun
is sharper now
taking our breath
our world
is warmer now
decaying
too much black between us
to carry our light
too little
before breath ends
help us
if you hear us

echoes are sounds
perceived again
the finite
made infinite
breath / life
must be echoed
this is our hope
the force
bending our nothingness
we are ending
we are finite
but we last
so long as
our sounds echo
hear us
help us
echo us
