"Sentience" - the capacity to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively
Figures across an expanse of snow,
Others, far down and hovering in the deep.
And on they go, Scanning screens for stars.
Figures across an expanse of snow,
Others, far down and hovering in the deep.
And on they go, Scanning screens for stars.
All hearing the ancient echo,
Perhaps.
All on a quest that
Started with sentience.
All on a quest that
Started with sentience.
Somewhere out there?
Above, beneath
Above, beneath
Or just a just a little further on?
Maybe it's deep inside.
We will seek forever
Maybe it's deep inside.
We will seek forever
If we can
Are we questing for truth
Or just carrying it?
Outside, inside
Outside, inside
Perhaps hovering deep,
And awaiting the scanning,
Is that really a good cosmic echo?
So we shall quest on,
Perhaps, long passed our sentience.
