Desolate Spheres
I close my eyes, and the sun goes out
Hold a breath, and all of the creatures fall dead
Cover my ears, and the universe goes silent
Not a water drop, not a heartbeat
Not a sound from a songbird
In any of the four corners
I swallow the stars until they burn like coals through my eyes
My outline glows against the night sky
Like an eclipse of the sun
And sparks follow each of my movements like a shower of meteors
I light up the sky with the Aurora
Comets appear before dawn
He greets us at death in that quiet place
That is faint in our memories
That place that has always been there
But we can't quite remember
When you cross that bridge to the other world
Open the door and step through
Step through the stars, swim through the gate
Touch the very boundaries of the universe
