Perihelion 04:42
The summer strong, the permanence That fools us as we permeate the winter. And from its song of laid constants That emanates as it creates what wills us. A hymn to all unlearnt, A song of you I earnt, As I give All it calls to me In our perihelion From the drown’d lake The route the river takes To its union. The apsis of the sun That left our hearts undone In aphelion. Where you wake, you will belong with me. Each day takes another part of me. I wait for you to realise I’ve sworn my sins upon your eyes, you know now And Autumn calls we learn again To tell ourselves that this can last forever. All the hope it brings, Ever-after-ing, As we give All we are given When in Apihelion. From the drown’d lake The route the river takes To its union. The apsis of the sun That left our hearts undone In aphelion. Where you wake, you will belong with me Each day takes another memory.

Augury 04:52
I know what it gives, and gives you to augury But I can't believe what I can't know I know who you are you were written With love running deep through your bones You keep the memory All that you are is All that shows And know it can't give you All of the love That you're owed. You showed me what is, not what could be Can be more than i've ever shown But honey you gave enough for me Providence is yours to own. You keep the memory All that you are is All that shows And know it can't give you All of the love That you're owed Where we can write our audbade Where the gods cannot hear Of love within our orbit And I can keep you near. We rest in The arms of The arc of The Southern Cross. That guides us Unto love Indifferent To those above.

Against the wildest moorings of the sun What are you but the quietest harmony? Symmetry is ageless litany. You were born, you have lived, you have become. Can I sing to you to help you understand? I’m no Father to you, I’m just a man. I couldn’t give you my name. I’ll give you the song of my name. What we’ve lost can’t measure who we are. Winter grows from flowering peonies. Litanies from ageless symmetry. Who we are, what we were, afar. Can I sing to you to you and hope you’ll understand? I’m no lover to you, I’m just a man. I couldn’t give you my name. I’ll give you the song of my name.
