Beyond the Stars

Beyond the Stars

Weird, surreal, otherworldly

I looked beyond the stitched-up sky,

Where unborn constellations lie,

And saw the moon remove its face,

To show the bones of time and space.

The stars were whispering in reverse,

Old secrets from a dying universe,

While planets hung on silver thread,

Above the dreams of things long dead.

A thousand eyes began to bloom,

Like ghostly flowers in the gloom,

And something vast without a name,

Was calling me through cosmic rain.

I stepped beyond the edge of night,

Where darkness swallowed every light,

And found a door without a wall,

That knew my name before my fall.

Beyond the stars, beyond the sun,

Where time unravels, one by one,

I saw myself, yet not quite me,

A stranger in eternity.

And when I turned to journey home,

The Earth was gone, the heavens stone,

For I had seen what none should see,

And something else came back as me.
