III

Isolation

Are there any lonelier than the stars?

They shine so brightly,

but no one is there to hear them

they all glow in their own respects,

outshining one another,

until even their own voice is lost

just dangling forever in a void

a suspension of life

trapped in a vacuum

that saps away the light

and offers nothing

That’s how I feel as I wander about between worlds

It’s only my first voyage,

but I already feel an intimate kinship with the stars

a walk in space is a toil of years

no such things as seconds

or minutes

even hours

expand so thin so as to become decades

but trapped between it all is me

and the stars

wandering

a loose drifting

that amounts to nothing

but waiting

a desperate plea

waiting

for something

anything

to rescue us from this wandering

this dreaded isolation

as we all scream at each other

so terrified and mad

but making so sound

achieving no life

as all this time slips away
