Why

why

do we wish

to explore

these stars

when we

could just

enjoy them?

for answers

to questions

that shouldnā€™t

be answered?


why

do these stars

remind me

of her eyes

on that winter night?


why

does the abyss

remind me

of days when

i was stuck

with a man

i never loved?


why

does the knowledge

that i

donā€™t know

whatā€™s out there

Peace Among The Stars

As Iā€™m lost in zero gravity

I float among the stars

Iā€™m in between dozens of them

As I stare right at Mars


Even if I die today

Iā€™d still be at peace

Even if this is the day

That my life would cease


Iā€™ve lived a full life to this point

So I let out joyful screams

As I have the time of my life

Iā€™ve achieved all my dreams


Iā€™m lost in zero gravity

Staring right at Mars

At fifty years old, Iā€™m at pe...

Stars

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...

Peace

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...

So Small

The peace settled over me

A comforting blanket

I feel so small

So insignificant

Itā€™s refreshing

Itā€™s peaceful

I canā€™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

Itā€™s like nothing Iā€™ve ever felt

Iā€™m free of cares

Free of worries

The world is so big

And Iā€™m so small...

thoughts of peace

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 ...

Star Soul

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....

Healing Waters

Space is a vacuum; Iā€™d guess it would feel like nothing

But it doesnā€™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.


Iā€™ve been here before

Itā€™s good to be back

I feel both lost and as if Iā€™ve finally found my path

Peace, peace

I smile into the abyss

Trying to savor it

Not willing to admit it

But the o...

Make A Wish

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 ...

My Orion

If I had drifted amongst the stars

By gods sheā€™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 Iā€™d see how much I mean to her

For now

Iā€™m left to hope I mean half as much as she does

That sweet pretty lady that might someday be mine...
