I went to my highest point

I went to my highest point
To find the infinite
I touched outerspace
But couldn't live in it

So at the start of far
Searching for the smallest small
Beneath a galaxy of stars
Is dust and particles

This is the overwhelm

This is the overwhelm
The swelling of the well
My heart goes out and out
Yet never leaves the shell

The ocean is a raindrop
A sun is just a spark
Left reaches and touches right
Like light that goes to dark

Sad to see so much faith

Sad to see so much faith
Spent energy on useless prayer
The worthlessness of words
Wasted on an earless air

Everyday I dream of the Empire

Everyday I dream of the Empire
So many years away from there
Alas, I'm standing on it
Staring out at air

I can feel the upward drafts
Can they hold me up, I ask
Suspending me and cycling
And to gently throw me back

As I search the sky for why

As I search the sky for why
You sniff my eyes and kiss
You do not wonder why nor try
To explain one bit of this

No aliens or savior
Not wanting for eternity
In the moment, this very moment
We touch serenity

The two of us are holding

The two of us are holding
While a comet is up there
As if someone pulled and hurled
The moon's last silver hair

And your hair is thin and fine
Our universe is mapped
In thousands of years from now
Only the comet will be back

To fall within the outlines

To fall within the outlines
Of where a shadow falls
Is to confine oneself
Inside the highest walls
