Precession

26,000 years
Through views that change our world
Full cycle at the gates of dawn
At sunset I wander alone
I am counting the stars, I measure the ground
I bring light for the new tribes
I’ve built the monument of Lion and the Belt of Orion
Mother of All is satisfied

Eons forward, eons back
Walking through the stardust
Spin of the wheel, the beginning and end
The start of it the end of another start
Sun’s now rising where it once set
And sets where it once rose
I saw the rise and the set of Orion
And whole generations have gone
