an odyssey

It's so pretty from up here
The sky moves passed us like
The shattered remnants of
A thousand broken crayons
A cosmic symphony in all
The colors of an oil spot
Left as a reminder of the machine

We are forever intertwined
Out of death springs the life
Blasting forth with the fire and fury
Of a supernova, silent as it works
You will float on endlessly, leaving

I am alone in this
Doomed forever to sit and watch
Cursed with the infinite knowledge
Nobody else will know

Four times is the key and the
Star gate has been undone
The airlock has been breached
While the star child sits and waits
Floating, far away

How far we have come yet still
On this endless journey
Beyond the inifinty
Through the never
Into the black
We are nothing
