Endless.

Radiating celestial bodies, floating,
In a perpetual empyrean.

Millions of centuries away, isolated, secluded from one another.
Millions from far away, but lonely amongst the thunder

Do the stars know, I am enchanted by their beauty?
Mesmerized by magnificent balls of gaseous substances,
Brilliantly blazing in their thrones.
As they gleam, covered in sparkles, they scream.

Scattered moondust in a vast veil of darkness.
It’s a mess, though nevertheless, the most pulchritudinous.

Deeply staring into your eyes, I immerse myself in your warm embrace.
Endlessly like my love for you, I levitate into space.
