Once Mercury dreamt, ‘cross Jupiter’s eye
a mysterious monolith, no chance to identify,
is drifting into shades of light
since being on an aimless flight.
While lonely astronauts, are floating endlessly,
along the moons into infinity
from orbit over Io’s wounded face
past Neptune’s rings far into outer space.
On the edge, on the edge, ‘til the end
Strong father of gods on his path deep in space
keeps fighting the titans never ending his chase.
Electrified intelligence was dreaming
of the dark and unknown being
on its journey in slow motion
across Callisto’s hidden ocean
while early life is on its way.
If things go right, then it will stay,
deep in Europa’s icy caves.
Soon it will grow and take its place.
‘til the end, ‘til the end, on the edge.
Small brother of Sol guarding all that begun,
from birth of the planets ‘till death of the sun.
