The Calling

The Calling

By Jacob Vinson

To the boundaries of sky

Past the glimmer in our eyes

Lies a synapse of heart and mind

Brace yourself for the slide

₅ Across the planets

Beyond the stars

Where fire dances with ice

In the dark unknown of space

Look back to our home

₁₀ An elliptical image of our world

A tiny speck in a floating void

Impearled with a celestial flurry

_* Aeria Gloris, Heavenly Glory

Never will I look away

₁₅ Spirits rising and falling

Calling, Calling,

In the depths of longing

Yearning ensues and enthralls

For what life has left me

₂₀ Backtrack through the heavens

Running to fight the shadow of a lie

I’m both the defendant and the arbitrator

Never again will I leave behind

The chasms beneath the moon

₂₅ Filled with singing souls

Calling, Calling,

In the depths of longing
