Astral Projection

I want to leave
go away from here
out of this body
to another sphere.

Out I go now
into a long funnel.
There is no light here
as through a tunnel.

I emerge into
the darkest of dark
with only a few twinkles
to give a spark

Into this space I move
though its very cold
and no longer am I sure
to be so bold.

Then voices come
distant rumble of babble,
no words appear
only the sounds of rabble.

Like in an auditorium
with everyone talking as one.
The cacophony grew and I knew
I shouldn't have come.

The grass is not greener,
it doesn't exist.
There is only cold out here
and here was the twist:

All the universe
I will ever know
is within myself
no matter where I go.

I must return
go away from here
back to my home
on the glorious blue sphere
