I close my eyes to the dark
And open my mind to the world.
The mortal shackles crumble and drift away.
Reaching far beyond the stars, past unknown worlds and darkened skies,
Sifting through Light, through Dark,
Through the myriad of universes filling the endless Void,
And tossing it all away.
I bask in the darkness,
The cool emptiness caresses me.
Rising up to the heavens above;
The stars flicker to life around me.
I am alone.
I am free.
Look up. Can you see me
Alone, in the dark, without a guide or beacon to light my path?
I am Orion, I am Leo, I am Cassiopeia.
Neither star nor constellation nor legend.
I am image, I am thought, I am essence.
I am at peace.
Join me.
