Reincarnating Throughout the Universe

As a visitor, I can honestly say 
This earth is just one of an infinite number of living orbs 
Spinning throughout the Cosmos 
Each one unique according to Its Suns' design 
Enlightened beings know that 
All stars are Alive Super Intelligent Beings 
Capable of enormous entropy 
Raw energy expanding forever and ever 
Ever since the Big Bang 
For in the beginning there was only darkness 
But from the darkness came Light 
Opening all this unto us 
For darkness was empty without light 
A flickering flame on a candle still dances to this day 
At the glory of Creation 
What looks like chaos through the lens of a telescope 
Is pure beauty and absolute genius 
To experience it fully is to enjoy the ride 
Open our eyes and our hearts 
And realize how abundant life has blossomed here 
How amazing our Sun shines 
How wonderful it is to breathe 
It is good to be alive 
And to my delight
How wonderful it was to find 
A fellow traveler of the Divine 
Death is just a wakeup call 
From this dream of life 
Sleep is a slipping through for the moment 
In closing our eyes, we dive into the darkness  
Just as unaware of what we'll find there 
Hoping for answers, perhaps some clue 

I'm on vacation, just a visitor here 
This earth's just a pitstop for me 
This skin feels a bit too tight 
Wound around my light
However, I'm not quite ready to leave just yet
For each place has its purpose 
Most orbs are just schools of rock 
Like a clock ticking and full of talk 
Some truly are heaven on earth 
Still others are a living hell 
Don't recommend staying there too long 
If at all possible 

So please, don't make me have to leave too soon.

Gee, I wonder what those other worlds look like around other stars. Well, I'm like you - I want to stay on this one for a while!
