Untouchable beauty, endarkened sky.
I marvel at your perfect solitude;
your unadulterated splendor.
Delicate beauty comes and goes,
it’s divorce from the realm of
perceiveability often forced upon it by the hands of those whose eyes are closed.
Alas! Ignorant desecration does not shake you, untouchable beauty.
I ponder on your expanse, staring up as you stare back one billion times over.

Perhaps thousands of years.
Perhaps many, many more.
Cold my cell, and thick its walls.
Thoughts turned to rumination.
Rumination to waking dreams.
