Poetry : Prose : One Long Night In Space

One long night in space
waiting for sunlight that never comes
I stared out into my backward of stars
light-years from any inhabitable worlds

I had left behind my fate, along with my life
reborn again into oblivion, to find my place in the universe
like a grain of obsidian on a beach of white sand

How long before I go mad?
chasing after webs of dreams that may not exist
where is God sailing me off to?
or have I left him too, behind...
