S P A C E AND ME

S P A C E  AND ME
 
In the seas of seas swirling in my mind
I find myself alone in an ocean of space
Nothing but void surrounds me
As far as my soul can see

Can our life’s breath be the soul of it all?
Existence, if we breathe we exist
Extinction if we don’t
Breathing is all there is, all else is just marking time

Here, there, everywhere
Nothing exists but my breath
Mine being the only one
Maybe the only one that matters 

In this universe of nothing but dissolute and devoid space.

The dark between the emptiness of space 
More scarier than Man’s madness
Dumber than men’s needs 
More demanding than men’s desires

Expect more, infinitely more
The dark may be dark 
But it has seen the light
Inside men’s breasts

His goodness always in constant fights with death
He struggles within himself
Fighting with his sacred brother, Evil
They brawl to the end …  hopefully, someday

No one knows why but they continue the chaos ad infinitum

As I struggle with my devils in dark space
I swim toward the light in the deep dark
Not seeing demons but knowing they exist
I swim and I swim hoping that at last with hope

The light is there shining for me.
