Voyager 1
Lost on a path,
Set out before it,
Calculated to precision,
The Earth but a speck in the emptiness,
The sun but a twinkle in the dark
Barreling toward the void,
Rushing into the vacuum,
With its eyes shut,
About to become one with the abyss surrounding it
Time
Time is an illusion - Albert Einstein
We see hazy outlines of
a future that could have been,
Close enough to touch,
Yet veiled from within.
We gaze wistfully at the past,
Frozen in photographs,
Alive in our minds,
The resounding echo of a laugh.
We live in the present but never experience it,
An infinitesimally small moment,
Always there,
But always gone.
Stars:
It's odd how we feel so connected to something so far away,
Yet completely alien to those around us,
Why is it that stars offer more familiarity than the Earth?
Is it that its light traveled
for millions of years
to reach your eyes?
Or maybe the way
you realize things about yourself when looking at them,
that there is power in feeling like nothing,
that there is a gravity in weightlessness,
that not everything in our lives means something,
but a small prick of light in a dark sky,
means everything
to me
Prism
My mind is a prism.
That reflects my stormy soul,
Everyone sees a different side of
the hurricane
in my head.
The air is strange,
after a hurricane
when the winds howl
fades to a whisper.
the air is heavy with mist and ghosts of raindrops
scattered after ricochetting off the ground
The world is strange after a hurricane,
the sun doesn't beam,
instead, she softly smiles
at every dewdrop
and kisses every iris
and everything is glimmering
And just like that,
the world is alright again.
Mushrooms
Life begins and ends with death,
The last breath of one is the blossom of another
