We Are Not Alone

Yes, the moon is dead, Yes the sun is but a ball of gas and fire, billions of stars, other moons and other planets all the same. Yes, but what if all that deadness were a living universe of you reflected upon a sightless eye that only looks outward? We are not alone, we never were. We are the living lights, we are the known and unknown. We are the never dead. What we consider alien is the very elemental construct of an infinite reality always blossoming, while our eyes seek alien Gods or demons elsewhere, everywhere but within the living.
