The universe ★ expanding forever
Collapsing ten thousand ❂million years ago
Re-collapsing ✵ten thousand million years✹ from now
So let us not be ✬worried
If we have not colonized ۞beyond the sun
We will have died out
Extinguished ⭐along with it
Let us get together ✰
Right down **✧*here
And extinguish
our colonial past
Take the first step★
Look up⍣
To the best* meteor *shower * around
On a mountain top ✰
Above
pollution
In the pre-dawn hours✦☆ of an August dog day
As the Earth passes through comet debris
Lay on an outspread blanket☪
🌠
Watching
the universe expand
Why?☆
Because mathematics cannot
handle infinite numbers
And we can travel beyond the stars.
Once we hijack the starship🌠
It will
be ours
As it was and it shall be
We can roll with it
Breathe in🌠 and breathe out
Until we meet again ✯in another land
No longer strangers on the road we are on
No longer🌠 being two, but being one*
Think of stars 🌠tonight
No more moon shadows
In the ethereal starlight
