Adversity

There's a black hole in the peaceful blue I've torn open I stand on the event horizon against it's vacuum, like wind to a boulder I shake off the delirium focus my eyes and collect my thoughts In the distance i see an orange shining star and 8 planets The change of scenery is blissful, but I can not rest here Scared but determined, my knees tremble as I prepare to lasso the comet I know this steed well in my 76 years and there's no need to tame it As I get off at the milky-way and ride the rocket home I smile in anticipation to the common man's woes.
