there's so much beauty in this world
i can never hope to capture it all at once.
a painter's brush,
a poet's words,
the beauty of the universe forever eludes their grasp.
though we all live under the same stars,
this particular set are eternally mine.
from their perch upon the heavenly kingdoms,
their ageless wisdom
endlessly shines.
their proximity is nothing but an illusion,
for they are eons apart.
condemned to a life of solitude,
each star smiles a solemn smile
from afar.
i now know the reason why i cannot cry,
it is because i have been given the gift of strength.
in the humble presence of such magnificence,
all one can shed
is one's pretense.
i long to leave this earthly abode,
shooting into space at the speed of light.
planets and suns and galaxies all flashing past
as i journey towards the ends of the universe,
nothing to mark my passage but a trail of stardust.
this earthen vessel can constrain me no longer,
my soul clamours for release.
like smoke diffusing into the night sky,
i drift into space in search of
eternal peace.
the twinkle in the stars eyes,
betray their esoteric secret of what awaits yonder.
i see with clairvoyant eyes,
beyond this perpetual darkness
lies infinite wonders.
