the speed of light

this was dark egress
this living on a molecular level
see that dangerous trace

loneliness is haunting here
when held up against the fuzzy view of x-rays
we all look tiny from outer space

star- scorched particles still one
unique in their positions
seems god is away

or maybe she just stays out of the light
but what about the empty sky
the darkest matters

matters of the heart
to be high – on the edge of nigh
beautiful when uttered in extremes

untouched as in the gentle feel of dreams
speed's a relative thing
love is a whim when your heart’s on a string

confront an eternal escape
on a journey
shortly humorless, are you Sirius?

no matter how far or fast
surrender cloaks to misleading
when you wake

when you open your eyes
realize we come in fast
and we leave here faster

faster than the speed of light
