I lay in my bed Lost in thought Countless wonders drift me away To a world so bright I see the stars I see the light Yesterday, I've hurdled over mountains Yesterday, I've swam through ravaging oceans But tonight This very night Peace was brought upon me A warm embrace Oh how I longed for this very day
The peace settled over me A comforting blanket I feel so small So insignificant It’s refreshing It’s peaceful I can’t mess things up Not too bad, at least
I look around me The galaxy stretches out A never ending melody A comforting song So familiar, yet so unknown I smile
The calm I feel It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt I’m free of cares Free of worries The world is so big And I’m so small
in between the lines of the sun and the sky are veins worth tracing living afloat yet shining through i think peace is a dream it is one worth chasing peace is what we make it and i think our drifting hearts bring the stars closer to us i think peace is knowing the inevitable and even when not peace is surrounding light in between our eyes the bridge of our skin and the memories we hold peace is laying here occupying myself and thinking ‘if the stars are so meaningful why are they so out of reach?’ and i believe peace would be holding a star and kissing it’s skin gripping it tighter as it pulls me above drifting with it would be like floating with a presence of someone’s heart free yet trapped loving yet hurting all at the same time all at once peace is the sky peace is the warmth of our bones and our damp hearts stars are our most sacred secrets and drifting in between feels like life is being filled with endless possibilities what a world we have created in our own hands i can’t imagine how many more years of this we have
Space is a vacuum; I’d guess it would feel like nothing But it doesn’t feel like nothing It feels like ocean Vast, deep I am a wave Forming far away from the shore And instead of crashing, I retreat again, slowly.
I’ve been here before It’s good to be back I feel both lost and as if I’ve finally found my path Peace, peace I smile into the abyss Trying to savor it Not willing to admit it But the open space is the only place that feels like home to me.
I breathe the nothing It tastes like salt I sink without drowning and float without falling Wait, heal I allow myself to relax My heart no longer aches My skin feels like my own In space, day and night are one, as love and loss are too. I sink into the ocean, I float above the stars And as I absorb the salt and sleep, I feel my scars begin to heal.
Between the shimmers of the skies, Finding peace like how I view your eyes.
Resting soul that has passed away, Is this what the afterlife feels like day by day?
Breathing in cold crystals of air, Finding warmth within the stars’ flare.
In the night it will always remain, For in space I float along the way.
Weightless where there is no gravity, Finding constellations that speak to me.
I hear the whispers that coax me close, “What is it you seek foremost?”
Twinkle twinkle little star, I used to make wishes from afar.
Now I float in front of you, Hearing your question of what I am to do.
Viewing galaxies, and seeing lights, I wish to take part in God’s pure night.
“I want to close my eyes and find peace here,” I say, And the star granted me my wish that sent me away.
For when I’m gone here on earth, May God keep me cradled against His girth.
For when I’m gone to be one of the stars, Know I am here with you, even from afar.
If I had drifted amongst the stars By gods she’d know my name She knows as many as she can bear to remember Although it took so many tries for her to guess the star name of mine If I was cast up there, maybe I’d see how much I mean to her For now I’m left to hope I mean half as much as she does That sweet pretty lady that might someday be mine
The newlyweds look out into the black night sky, as billions of shiny stars light up the galaxy. They take a soft green blanket and go lie down together in the backyard. As they look for
constellations and shooting stars, they start to get lost in their imagination. The couple begin to drift between the stars, rocking back and forth like on a boat between the waves.
The lovers feel so peaceful that they start to fall asleep in each other’s embrace. They wake up the next morning with the yellow sunshine gleaming down on their faces.
Sometimes I wish I could leave the hustle and bustle of earth and live amongst the stars.
I imagine it’s quite peaceful up there.
No noise. A blanket of quiet.
No gravity. Completely weightless. __ No people_. Alone with the vast unknown. _ __ No worries. Simply drifting between stars. __ __ I imagine, as I drift between the stars
they would hum a low buzz
and offer a safe glow.
i’d whisper things only they get to know.
But only in my dreams will I ever feel that kind of __ weightlessness
quietness
_seclusion_
__ __ Only in my dreams will I drift between stars.
