in the days after my own
the central fire will nourish you
know that i knew
that all was connected
woven into the fabric of cosmos

will your truth make me free

unbend in the ether
my soul is vaporized by the harmony
of what is limited and limitless
which of these is my soul
the silver river released in the atmos

i feel you beyond millennias
your outlines already drawn in the shadow of my room

will your truth make me free

here are my words
feed on them
the idea will grow in you

let them know that it burns the flame for us all

Philolaus, you understood that Earth wasn’t at the center of the known universe and stated that Earth revolved around a central fire. Your ideas fed the minds that were pivotal in the transition from geocentric to heliocentric model two thousand years later. Philolaus, your written word still inspires.
