In the Void

No voice is whispered in the void Explosions inside the nest of stars Ignite into the operas of the galaxies Noiseless vacancies full of mysteries Evolve, remain as vacuous as they are Space, bridled by the fire balls of debris To be explored once in the field of vision That seem to come from nothing Gone nova moving forward over eons That follow in the open cosmic sea Alternate universes yet to be observed The ones with six dimensions or more Vacuums pouring out pure particles Emptying into something still to be determined Into the unknown as wide as real as motion To be defined, farther out in space Farther than the mind can comprehend Sounds that can't be embraced or heard Out there, distances between the planets Is enormous, before and after they are gone So long measured in the calm before the storm Reality is not mentioned here or there Since there is no reference point to find Too close for comfort as worlds collide We resolve to change existence while in orbit Bridged by alternate universes where planets rise Stars go nova all the time Elastic in an ocean of provocateurs In the minus hours of creation Jagged stones became much smoother Edges compress in their rotations on Filled in with shape and form Earth was born in orbit Weather forces wear down rocks One size fits the planet well in gravity Profound and rounded in ways too hard To understand or simplify in cosmic terms Conditions to strange to fathom circumstances Or describe as fiction from long distances More ovals on the horizon grow Escape velocity stretched to the limits On the elliptic mist where history lives Rocks expand into the planets heavens This all happens in split seconds over time To fall all together from the sky to where we are In every instant that can be conjectured on Thought, as reality unfolds back on itself Where it all began in silent matter conjured up In the void, there is no noise Space listens to questions postulated Over distances filled in by vacancies
