THE BEHOLDER IN THE SILENCE
On a planet gray and airless
At the universeâs rim,
Where the night is everlasting
And the stars are ever dim,
The Beholder in the Silence
Waits immobile, hushed, and grim.
On that world of desolation
Where no mortal being has stepped,
The Beholder in the Silence
Has its timeless vigil kept,
And for eons past all measure,
It has neither stirred nor slept.
The Beholder in the Silence,
With its one unblinking eye,
Stares into the boundless cosmos
Far beyond its sunless sky.
We cannot divine the meaning,
But can only wonder why.
The Beholder in the Silence
Keeps its vigil all alone
For a reason and a purpose
That forever stays unknown,
On that chill and nameless planet
Where no wind has ever blown.
