As I’m lost in zero gravity

I float among the stars

I’m in between dozens of them

As I stare right at Mars

Even if I die today

I’d still be at peace

Even if this is the day

That my life would cease

I’ve lived a full life to this point

So I let out joyful screams

As I have the time of my life

I’ve achieved all my dreams

I’m lost in zero gravity

Staring right at Mars

At fifty years old, I’m 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

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 ...

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....

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 o...

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 ...

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...
