Rama I

Awakened from suspended sleep after eons of desolation
 we find ourselves
 staring into the abyss
 a marvel of construction built by beings untold
 a self sustaining system of propulsion
 a symbol of perfection
 we cannot comprehend
 delving deep into the depths
 a discovery of unthinkable value
 Floating through the nothingness colossal it's only description
 as past becomes the present
 symmetrical to the point of compulsion
 a mammoth creation from the depths of unknown
 as our minds grasp spherical distortions
 we question the meaning of infinity
 such an inferior existence
 as we face perfected evolution
 At the height of technology automation beyond understanding
 we wait
 the shapeless beings start to emerge
 as the light infiltrates the towering landscape
 a sea of frozen chemical compounds
 faultless towering framework
 for what purpose does this planet exist
 is it destruction or self preservation?
 the complications of our ability to reason
 when faced with perfection we waste away
 Floating through the nothingness colossal it's only description
 as past becomes the present
 symmetrical to the point of compulsion
 a mammoth creation from the depths of unknown
 as our minds grasp spherical distortions
 we question the meaning of infinity
 such an inferior existence
 as we face perfected evolution
 rise to the sun
 rise endless one
