empty space

sadness quelled I gave myself time to grieve
searching for answers now on a quest
Melancholy will be going with me
interested, sorrow weighs and measures
she is the one that tests honesty
we can only bear so much pain

there are great many things in the dark abyss
as I encounter things I consider them
they affect us without us realizing it
the dark surrounds us
surrounds all of the planets too

I wonder if empty space has a mind
the wonders of the universes hidden
a well choregraphed chaos

I'm sending out my feelers to make contact
there are so many variables of life
with very different values
some of them don't see our value
some are cold and calculating
some are in tune with us
but as of yet have not revealed there location
some dimensions I can not access

all of the planets sing
they say they are sisters
and consider their inhabitants their progeny
there is a language of light, dark, sound and movement
it is very subtle I am to learn this language
it is the language of a higher intellect

I am not graceful I have a lot to learn
pain is an artform that adds understanding to a soul
muses of muses music seduces my knowledge
hurt is the emotion that communicates grace to a mind
who lives mostly in denial for the need of it

I have discovered their in no great final destination
we will be living new lives after this one ends
an education of adversity growing past infancy
traveling time space immortally
