Living Lights

accelerating, going faster
than we've ever been...
acceleration's how we master
the emptiness between

solar systems intertwining,
electrically embraced -
the energy we need we find in
the space through which we race -

Andromeda's galactic spiral
emerges from a haze
unseen to seen and going viral
we're in another phase

of moving through the night eternal
electro-magnetically
harvesting each ion kernel,
ever faster as we flee -

a hundred billion worlds before us
seeking one to find
somewhere we will be much more as
an everlasting mind

in a place where summer evenings
are followed by warm nights
no more losses, no more grievings
becoming living lights...
