Quickly I
ascend the void of empty
Leaving all Ive known behind
I escape the grasp of gravity
Seemingly bright points of light stretching out from my eyes are making me blind
Infinity
is lying before me
Possibilities all around
This landscape I sees all consuming
No limits to what can be found
Continuing on with this journey
These physics cannot keep me bound
Resolve to go where they wont find me
Until Ive discovered new ground
Engaging
the thrust, I propel myself forward leaving only a wake of silence
The daunting momentum lingers on
Technological advances, catastrophic circumstances, an explosion of the sun
Through the darkness I keep on sliding, heading straight so I dont get lost
How many days since this first started? How many more to go before Im there?
The unknowns causing my nightmares
In the distance a faint blue light begins to grow and becomes bright
Out of the darkness a truly wondrous sight
Gaining more speed, Im quickly approaching heading straight no matter the cost
Hit the sphere with a fear that I just might be near to a death within a breath of my life
Slam into the blue, infernal fire surrounding, a taste of the life awaiting me on my grounding
Time passes slow as I enter the calm, then a flash and a crash, I explode like a bomb
Waking up
I can see theres much to behold
So many colors overwhelming, will their secrets be told?
Theres
more to explore so much left to discover
Big Blue is land on ocean with a dome as a cover
Many creatures running to and fro terrified of the one who burnt their dome
Baring and gnashing their teeth their numbers continue to build and grow
Some fly overhead circling around dropping metal pieces that burn to touch
They cut my flesh and make me bleed. What kind of place is this Ive found?
Forcing my anger cant they see that I only want peace and harmony?
More metal pieces tearing me, cant take much more I start to scream
Placing my hands upon my head I set about to make the aggression cease
Break the mind of every living thing, every single one of them falling dead
In destroying those intent to do me harm, Ive discovered the fear of difference
Breaking their minds lets me peer inside. Their thirst for war and death makes no sense.
Instead of reaching out they helped bring about their own breaking down of a culture designed to rule and to conquer
Their minds are puny, capable of so much beauty, oftentimes they show their cruelty
What a gift to have and its one that they squander!
What have I done? Their deaths been for naught
And their
ending weighs on me
such a tragedy
A total loss of humanity
The Loneliness of Life is sickening
Set right the wrong for eternity
Undo the fault before I leave
Take all I have and plant the seeds
Seeds that
will grow and tell you everything I know
But please take care for what you learns for all to share
The guilt I feel will never ever truly disappear
So Ill watch over you and see everything you do
Ill be your guide through the peace and war and when you die
To pay for our crimes you can only have a short amount of time
For as I left you long ago you must return to death to know
That the wars you engage and the rage must go
Hope the lesson youre learning will be enough to keep your soul from burning
My anger was just, you had it coming. All the wars that you lust had you succumbing
Creating anew is what I have to do and maybe youll learn here a thing
or two
Existence aside lifes a precious gift. Heed the lesson well or youll
sail adrift
Live your life well, give it some meaning. Make all your days count while
youre still breathing
One more
thing before I go, youll all be different so let it show
Single and unique itll play a huge role on how you advance and how you
will grow
Fly into Blues sky, soaring high goodbye
