What Lies Beyond

What lies beyond the clouds
a sea of stars gleaming in the distance
the murky tides of space swirling, encapsulating existence.
So incomprhensible, yet we strive to understand it.

Why do we yearn to seek the stars above,
to become more then simple matter toiling
endlessly away at fruitless tasks.
There is something deep within us all,
that strives for adventure, companionship, love.

Perhaps it is this endless void which
offers these temptations upon us all.
Despite being filled with nothingness
it is here that existence blooms freely,
it is here that we find what we seek,
things far beyond ourselves.

Pinpoints in the distance
Each one a beacon
They call to me
"Seek what we hold"

My search is never ending
I must travel between them
Hoping the next contains
That which I desire

Too many for one lifetime
The odds against me
Yet I do not despair
The search goes on

I shift from point to point
Looking at what each offers
While time may run down
Space abounds

Space
Beautiful, horrifying
Encompassing, swallowing, creating
Galaxies, novae, constellations, holes
Swirling, transfusing, holding
Vulnerable, lonesome
Me

An Endless Road
An Open Space
Freedom Incarnate
A Boundless Place

A Road To Riches
From Place To Place
To Every Culture
And Every Race

Go Where You Please
There Are No Boundaries
From Felucia's Jungles
To Balmorra's Foundries

There's Glory And Fortune
To Be Found Out Here
But It's Not For The Timid
With Their Hearts Full Of Fear

So Go With Courage
To Make Your Name
This Is A Place Without Limits
Of Glory And Fame
