THE CHILDREN KNEW THAT EVEN THOUGH their love would sustain them...
|
...Their world would continue to age and would eventually breathe its last breath.
|
as their long days of peace ended, they found they had no choice.
|
HAND IN hand in hand in hand, they made aN oath to each other.
|
they would have to say goodbye to their dear mother world.
|
Even though they leave their mother, they would never EVER leave each other.
|
EMPOWERED by their PROMISE to never part...
|
...AND their hope of finding a new blue world, they departed.
|
ALAS, promises, no matter how deeply heartfelt, are fragile things.
AND even though they had endured so very much time and space...
|
...and even though they finally neared a world almost as blue as their own...
|
FALLING to their final sky...
|
...they knew they could not survive.
|
so they used the last of their strength...
|
...to make one final promise.
|
"although we scatter and die..."
|
"...we will someday be reunited."
|
...their voyage was simply too long and cruel and exhausting.
