A Simple Journey To The Universe
A simple journey
to infinity
without noise,
without farewells,
a distant death
with an expiration date
The dust of
space wraps us like a luminous veil,
like a welcome
to absolute solitude
Endless sand,
shining without prying questions
for our dreams
and desires
I compare it to
myself, to my companions
In front of it
we seem insignificant, helpless dots,
a blurred
parenthesis in the evolution of the Universe
that plunges us
ever more into the indifferent abyss
But who counts
our temporary death?
Who writes
memorial speeches for us daring star travelers
and then reads
them in a voice hoarse with emotion
in front of the
interstellar void?
Who understands
the weight of our responsibilities to humanity?
Who will keep us
in their weak memory?
We flew towards
the light
and now our
wings are constantly burning
but we do not
interrupt our eternal journey
towards the
Unquenchable Truth
of the mysteries
of life,
of existence, of
creation, of our whole self
The Figures Of Justice
My God, how far
I have strayed
from my right
path!
My God, when i
turned off the stars
that illuminated
my heavenly destination?
I always wanted
to believe
how I could
reach my dreams and desires
to touch them,
to grab them,
to make them
completely mine,
to not let them
belong only to my imagination
but now the Sun
bows its head sadly,
when he sees me
wandering into unknown worlds,
having lost my
way,
following other
wrong, strange, dangerous
What did I do
wrong and now I follow wrong paths
that lead only
to destruction and nowhere?
I betrayed
myself alone
and now my
Achilles heel is bloody and hurts
Are they death
these winged, dark figures
that have
surrounded the spaceship and my life
seeking justice
and my personal punishment?
