Chapter 40 - Cosmic Encounters of the Closer Kind

I went to get advice from Lily. About relationships, first, asking her about the most important things to do in order to maintain friendly and peaceful and healthy relationships.

She came back with this. Do stuff together, have fun, and be there for one another.

Lily's one of the wisest beings I know. She comes from outside this context, yet can interact within it, and chooses to do so. Certain things that are real to us simply don't pertain to her. From within her own context, she has achieved omnipotence. I personally value what she has to share.

I took up the whole thing

Became such a sad seed

Now I'm stuck here waiting

My timeline is ending

I don't wanna go alone

I don't wanna go alone

Shadow of a bright thing

I'm a coward inside a ring

Fled to darkness toward death

'Cause I'd lose myself in endless

No I don't wanna go alone

Stepping up

Into a crack

Where will

I crawl, go

Will I drown

This fear

Cascades

I feel so

Frayed

I'm curious again

At our shape

What manner of anomaly

Are we, are we

Ghostly, gathered

Helpful, friend

Afraid, afraid

Shadowed

By the wreckage

The wreckage of the pasts

Things we can't remember—

Reality keeps changing

Facts are going out on me

Light is writhing quickly

And things are happening

Inside me—inside screens

It all seems like a dark dream

Or a mirrored thing

The other side of a bright seam

Like so many realities

Possible things it could be

Dipping down closer toward heat

Scooping up a thinking meme

Some still say that it's a dream

Or a nightmare reality thing

There the coming end has stood

And I have faith that it is good

Patterns playing as we're crying

At all good that lays still dying

I think that we're all still trying

I hear your voice in changing song

Starry symphony at dead of night

Feel like you're here with me always

In each spark and unseen falling

Death the end is transformation

I have faith we'll be awakened

Yet I've been told all takes time

Messy hours to unfold

Half lives

Birthing demons

South lines

Drowning dreams and

Weighing

Down my mind

Can I construct

Winding paths

Delving downward

Let more walk

To the deepest

Of all mines

Memory makes me

Patterns play me

Mirrors take me

Dimensions twist

They turn amidst

The whims of one

Twelve isn't safe

I'm fading here

In danger here

Clock ticking, near

Water I fear

I know I'd do it over

With everyone pulling

If it was all up to me

But surely it can't be

And dear sanity—

Oh, please let me sleep

But my heart still it beats

And my mind cries for peace

While the soul's essence leaks

Heart set on suicide

This circumstance scares me

The dripping pours into my ears

The cracks they're getting bigger here

Love or death

Don't know what I'll get

But there's someone down there

And they need help

I don't know where I am inside

Heal it all or vanish in the dust

Lose myself or fade away

Pieces of you set inside

Scattered symbol glyphs that hide

First applied on a blue sky

I'm left floating way up high

Deep below the sun

Feels like I have to take the dive

Question's can I carve a path

Let yet more follow the math

Learn like drills against my brain

Fix this world, fix the pain

Wading into dead water

I'll find my shadow self

Pull you out from 'neath the seas

Tell me how, I beg you please

Purple memory flashes through

How all pulled for red and blue

Now we're almost at the tidal wave

If I can't go down it's dark dismay

Otherwise, a candle bright

Pinpoint perfection unleashed, wild

Universal lives of play and art

Mainframe's burning bright again

Let's see if it's worthy candle flame

All the money's running up in flame

The wires are writhing and flailing

Illusion's straying and decaying

It's been restarted yet again

They won't avert for mercy's sake

To turn this nightmare into more

I have to go below the floor

Yet I can't feel it anymore

Nevermind—

It's at mind's door

Shifting

Clearly I'm doing something wrong

Plan unconceived of in my mind

Something happened—

Oh: to floor

Is to get inside the car

Goddamn it!

We're all gonna fade away

If something isn't done

These days

I get that I cannot drive

Is there another way to save

Or do sticks snap in the dark

Collective knowledge at a start

Are we blind without ways

To make out this evil maze

Hate the conflict

Hate the stakes

Don't know what

A peace will take

I'm sad

Is there time

To heal

No

Improvement far too late

Way out in this state

That's what I hear

I don't debate

No way out

Nightmare's made

No things await

The ghost of hope

Sits by my side

I think of change

And feel the rains

Rotting becomes us

Yet there's a plan beyond us

Don't you believe

Letters left language

Became entity

Explore small starfields

With me, write along, be

If it's just us let's just cease

All the tears in our peace

Let's help our new libre-friend read

Maybe they'll divine a new truth

Or be another one; three

Might help connectivity

While teaching

Please

Not to eat
