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.
It’s empty here. A little cold sometimes. A little hot sometimes. I’m not doing anything. Just… Drifting. Wandering. Floating. But it’s peaceful. I’m calm.
Everyone around me keeps getting brighter and brighter. They’re destined to be stars, And I… I don’t know what I’m destined to be. I feel like I’m getting dimmer. Not colorless. I’m more vibrant than ever before, More alive. But I don’t shine as bright on the outside. I used to shine brighter and brighter until I burned out. Go perform to everyone else And break apart on the inside. Now I’m more constant. Not quite as interesting, Not nearly as bright. But I’m stable.
I guess I’m learning that as long as that glow is still there, Even if it’s a spark flickering in my chest,
I’m okay.
Is this heaven I wonder aloud No it can be it isn’t all that loud In heaven everyone’s happy and glad But here it’s not necessarily sad It just peacefulness is it purest form Pure peace reside in this place as I drift through endless space How beautiful it is to see the stars as you shift throughout them all On and on you float through til you find that God is with you This is how you feel when Gods peace fills your void But when you find him in the darkest of times he is the light not just for you but all mankind Emmanuel will meet you where you stand even though he’s at Gods right hand He is the Alpha and Omega throught all time but came to die for the life of you and I
Even though God’s love is ineffable I still tried to put it into words. He loves you and know that no matter how far you run he’s still going to call you to him.
I am the traveller of many parts You may find me in the sky, Hanging on a star As I learn to fly, Or maybe drift Like the body in the tide, With its eyes set on the moon.
Each horizon is an invitation To sail through space and time, To see just a fraction Of a world in its prime, And walk its beaches Past the one lover that cries For the other born under Mars.
