Invasion Warning by Interkosmos

Read, listen, hear, it's all the same

Invasion Warning is the act itself; how can you warn someone about something that has not in some way already happened, gathering itself into a coil over years of patience? In the heart of things that shape us bending and weaving, there is where the invasion began

Permission Denials, obey the laws and understand the rules, step back and recalibrate, muse. But the heart keeps beating deep in the hips, high in the head, straight in the gut. Take a breath and face the facts.

Persistence is just that, honestly I don't mean it but it just happens, again, comes back in waves to me and there you have it. A depth that is relentlessly deep, fascinatingly deep, and as I put it carefully away still there is that glimpse into the abyss, or some unending place (dare not hope) that lingers a temptation like I should really turn away and stop staring at what you are, limitless and vibrant

Inevitable is an extraordinary word. It conveys a sense of impending collision, something that must happen. It implies a destiny which is not ours to command. No, this inevitability is not the end of the story and they happily ever after, nor truly anything I could possibly desire to effect, but is instead the path of the mortal, that fills my heart with desperation, that most terrible weight

New Culture Uprise comes at last, get up and move along It's just a direction don't ask why, life is full of surprises anyways

Post Ops, and now where? I try to keep from looking back but all that is in front is new and unclear, faceless. It has its own rhythm and calling, and who am I to claim to be weary? So onwards with a nod, let love be eternal but never cling

Star Hopping is the music on the stereo while I'm driving there
