Being a Lonely Asteroid

Being a Lonely Asteroid

Billions of years in the universe of time, millions of solar systems
galaxies, living stars, dead stars, speeding starlights of dead worlds

My solitude is this life, scud through in infinity, in the space, a cold life
I am just a pebble, like my brothers in the ocean. This is our life

No one understands us. Suffering my asteroid heart. I can’t land
I can’t find a stable place for my billions of years old life. Oh God!

I can’t find a heart, a lifemate, a love, a woman, I can’t create a family
Because I have to move always. My end is the scud, the speed. Hmm

No stop. Never. Just go, go, go… No time to die. But I need. Long this
Hmm. My nature, my life is my end. If I land, then I will explode

Nothing will remain and stay of my life
Just my invisible grave in the crater

Hmm
This is
The Poor
Asterid
Life

I will continue my life
In the ocean

Hello Vilmos, Congrats on POTD. It's such a beautiful and tragic metaphor for a life spent in constant motion, unable to find a home or connection. I found the final lines about continuing in the ocean are so poignant and full of longing. Blessings, Vilmos, Daniel
