Competition: Contemplating the universe

SW Lucyeth
#13700

Ever expanding, my gaze is ever to the future

An architect's plan that none can consider, but from chaos there is order

Arms outstretched, I turn; starlight trails slowly behind me

Millennias going by; to me, a blink of the eye

A valse as old as time; life and destruction, death and decay

Scattered civilizations scream as they race to discover and claim me,

Generations gazing up in awe at what I simply am, and seemmingly always will be:

A dream!

Finite lifeforms trying to contemplate and outsmart the eternal

Dreams of being among the stars; seeds caught on solar winds...

Concerned, they only see with a mind of half a century: an eternity of tomorrows that will never be;

Mere seconds in a grand design that spans across an inifinity

They do not understand or comprehend

I am ever expanding and ever changing,

My gaze is ever to the future.

In the beginning there was nothing,
But in truth there will always be something.
Just as we are all human,
We can hope to escape this ruin.
We are all destined for the stars,
But deny it whilst we sit in our bars.
Life is too short for this endeavor,
But yet we strive to live forever.
Even the stars burn out in time,
But they are never cut short in their prime.
Just live your life to its fullest,
For this world is totally ruthless.

Stars, shining up high
taking away the darkness
from a night clear sky
what a shiny little dot
maybe Sirius, or perhaps Venus
can you touch my little planet
too filthy to be loved
down in the dirt there is a rat
little dog made it ran
why did you run away
you're going to the highway
little dog you made me cry
with the stars you will forever be
