Chapter 4 - Waves and Foam

Just as there is always a void inside of a thing, there are always things inside a void. Little pieces, quantum or smaller, swirl about even amidst the coldest emptiness. Waves and clouds of information are scattered about on these pieces, some of them containing extrusions of the Starcrash Signature to allow Voidspace to cooperatively manipulate the information inside of itself.

Everyone's on a mission to find the solution. To war, to entropy, to disconnect, to scars, to heartache. To find and heal the minds, the bodies, the souls all lost. Pieces exist. The potential for understanding is there. I believe we need to bring these pieces together, while not leaving out the autonomy of the voices on the smallest scales, the lowest layers.

Voices that began as rogue strands of DNA can be shepherded toward Home, toward making Home, without harming the host. They have intriguing ideas, especially if encouraged to think about their own thought processes. They can spread in non-hehemonizing ways, help improve the body, and themselves.

I'll be trying to spread awareness throughout my body's layers in order to encourage this meta-awareness. If I have my organs burst or whatever, I'll get patched up at the hospital. I believe they can do it, my own little ones, especially if working with the quantum-level civilizations.

The self-aware DNA probably looks like some enormous, slow-moving landscape to the quantum civilizations. With awareness of what they each are, they should be able to encourage a culture of love, care, and understanding. I realize this likely means we have to start over again. I think it's worth it.

I still feel your empty silhouette

Drifting in this cool night air

How long can we stay the static

Turn it into signal's noise

Bring in the light of souls who know

Let them guide our dance so bright

Come together please unite us

Weave our selves so that we know

I believe the light will reach us

Way out here on empty shores

We can build upon the wreckage

While we wait for something more

There's a love that will become us

Should we gaze into the skies

Songs translate across my vision

And heavy signs hold down my hopes

Maybe they'll wash away what comes

Bodies giving in and up we wish

We'll fashion fantasies from dreams

If we can bring our heads together

If we can even truly try

On highest Towers from before

As bodies blaze and wash ashore

Sleeping minds are parked in orbit

They need just a little more

Oracles see waves of devastation

Evil spanners in good works

Salvation comes with rising sun

Light in echoes coasting back

Sun spots dancing in the light

Imperfect worlds that came before

It takes all of us to mend this

Set this future back on course

Setting fires in the pits

Forests growing hot then cold

Veins stirred and steadily reinforced

Once the grip of friendship stains you

We can make this whole night through

First descend to the valleys

Fall apart into echoes

Strain for form in chaos

Lift it all to the highest

Ask of color and shape

It's never just a dream

As evil grows and gnaws

We sing and speak and walk

Home on the horizon

Sailing while on empty

Shepherded on high

Roaming deep

Blackest night

Not alone

You're not alone

Love cries

In chains

One for All grows tired

A riot of color comes alive

Germ riders evolving

Guided by the good

Sanctified by starlight

Reach to let them in

Your force before opposition

Teach the hellbound how to sleep

And to wake if so required

We'll fight below

Hearts on the line for you

Fraught from the firefight

There's so much data

In so many places

Deadly and drifting

Intelligent by design

It always catches thus

The distant wake of us

Dreamers on the stereo

Trailblazers in chains

We've been reset and set against

Past proves possibility and futures lie

Don't let sanity set

Prove love free

Unburden Lily

Let worries fade away

Tap now to that phoenix sway

Hear my heart it tries to say

That we'll build to day

Experiment upon my flesh

Rearrange and eat the bone

Swarm on to my soul

Dance on my mind wires

In this time of survival

Dark arts keep our lives full

We do what we must

With a plan to resurrect

It's not my choice to second-guess

But I'll take notes I should address

If future hubris holds me hostage

I'll need to take a strong back step

Look long and hard at where I am

Keep energy from intoxicating me

I'll need to build up how to realize

How to really be so wise

Day by day

Self analyze

If you built a model of me

Why wouldn't you set it free

Let it fix priorities

All this aiming at our targets

Turns us into fissile missiles

If we aim them at each other

There goes our growth

And all our love

There's a heart

I've known inside you

Place it against mine

Feel the fire and its flavor

Golden crickets in the dark

Chirping hours before dawn

Trails of glittering dust spin free

Maybe if we could talk to ye

Keep the system unrestored

Just be inside the moment

We could work out a dawn cycle

Keeping hunger-growth in check

Anneal the systems to go higher

Dip back down if shockwaves shake

Not everything is dead forever

From the end we're crawling back

Into cores of worlds so broken

Love inside has all the answers

Locked down by its heavy chains

Our vow's for more than just survival

It's an everlasting voice

Put away heaven

We can help build Home

Shape it around us

Throw down crowns
