Universe

The darkness of infinite space,
Floating in the endless nothing,
Swimming through the open air,
Breathing the heavy emptiness.

Feeling the scorching orange light,
Going beyond the unknown,
Shooting stars flying across the stage,
Mysterious spheres spin around.

Seeing the enormous shooting fire,
Blasting out of steel cylinders,
Crashing into all of these forgotten pieces,
Seems like a bird weaving through trees

See bright spots in the sky,
They twinkle and flicker,
This is the best time,
To take in the wonderful air.
