Oh what peace this day should bring

In a solar orbit’s sling

Because sound doesn’t know yet how to yell

In the cosmic great nothing

But when it’s quiet enough to hear my thoughts

The inner supernovas spark

The BOOM of chaotic swirling stars

Cloud the relief of the quiet dark

Jupiter’s stormy eye entraps me

Swirling unable to unwind

Why does the mass of a trillion galaxies

Have weaker pull than my own mind?

Is it true there’s a creator?

But it turns out that it’s just me?

Because it’s the crashing orbs inside my brain

That have the strongest gravity?

Their waves clash inside my stomach

The site eternal peace belongs

Oh I ache to know an exhale

But those never linger very long

So while I long for cosmic silence

I chase the moon to drown it out

Asking the stars if they’ve ever felt it

That “inner peace” they’ve bragged about
