starry night
black velvet foundation
crystal moon and
teardrop stars

storm's coming
no way back
no way forwards
can't stay still
must go on

a breath
all it takes
a single breath
a constant decision
to breathe or
to not

oh, universe
grandeur of light and dark
soothing voices and whispers
all in the wind
the ever present noise of life

to be filled by this now
fulfilled and completed
as a human
a farfetched goal
of existence
and existence alone

just a pale dream
thus it ends
not with a whisper
or a scream
but with silence
and a complete lack of light
