1 | Before man walked the Earth and gods shaped mankind, |
2 | Before planets and stars and all races of higher beings, |
3 | Nothing existed, than the idea of existence., |
4 | A dream, so delicate but one thought, one memory lost might render it void. |
5 | A universe so vast, no immortal living being may cross its span. |
6 | A journey without end. |
7 | Whether awake or asleep, Awareness never dies. |
8 | That we are one and many is the eternal paradox. |
9 | That we are both ignorant and wise is a unique mystery. |
10 | How then the human race came to possess a gift of such value and immeasurable power, |
11 | That few but the gods of ancient times hold, is to the heart of our story. |
12 | How then humans came to forget this treasure is why there is much to be told; |
13 | Of what all men have forgotten. |
14 | For even gods may forget, from which we first came |
15 | Our first names, the vessels of our first form |
16 | Yet nothing is lost upon awakening. |
