why
do we wish
to explore
these stars
when we
could just
enjoy them?
do we look
for answers
to questions
that shouldnāt
be answered?
do these stars
remind me
of her eyes
on that winter night?
does the abyss
of days when
i was stuck
with a man
i never loved?
does the knowledge
that i
donāt know
whatās out there
remind me of
my own
vast and empty
heart?
is this pe...

As Iām lost in zero gravity
I float among the stars
Iām in between dozens of them
As I stare right at Mars
Even if I die today
Iād still be at peace
Even if this is the day
That my life would cease
Iāve lived a full life to this point
So I let out joyful screams
As I have the time of my life
Iāve achieved all my dreams
Iām lost in zero gravity
Staring right at Mars
At fifty years old, Iām at pe...

Twinkling Tinkling
Yellow white blue
Drift in and out
Enjoying the view
Some hot and some cold
Some dim and some bright
Yet all shine clearly in the night
A lazy river
Adorned with light
A peacful way
To say goodnight
So i drift theough the stars
And my eyes flutter closed
Knowing I will wake up
In my humble abode...

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
Itās refreshing
Itās peaceful
I canāt 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
Itās like nothing Iāve ever felt
Iām free of cares
Free of worries
The world is so big
And Iām 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 ...

Margaret Sok
My happiness lies in the stars.
In days when clouds hover,
And leave me void of light,
Sadness is cast over me.
Their beauty is hidden,
Unable to remind me of the treasures earth holds.
I am left drifting in the starless night,
Cold and deprived of my soul....
Lucy M. Finch
Space is a vacuum; Iād guess it would feel like nothing
But it doesnāt 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.
Iāve been here before
Itās good to be back
I feel both lost and as if Iāve finally found my path
Peace, peace
I smile into the abyss
Trying to savor it
Not willing to admit it
But the o...

Little Nobody
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 starsā 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 ...

If I had drifted amongst the stars
By gods sheād 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 Iād see how much I mean to her
For now
Iām left to hope I mean half as much as she does
That sweet pretty lady that might someday be mine...
