Reaching the edge again.
There is no further we can go
and where we are
is wearing thin,
it will not keep us forever.
Not by any fault of our own,
or maybe we could have done
more in hindsight,
but we’d only be
postponing the inevitable.
Look out into this infinity
and tell me
were
you think we should go.
Any direction
might yield a place
where we could live and grow.
There are literally millions
of exoplanets
if we believe
the men with telescopes.
As the ground
beneath us
crumbles,
here we go.
Reality is not what we were sold.
The stories described something
that we’ve never known.
Things changed
at such a crazy rate.
I never thought
we might be too late.
Out here
in the nowhere.
Searching for our new home.
Isn’t it beautiful
to be in the unknown?
So far from where we were,
so far to go.
Every new sight we see
is beautiful.
We’re over the edge.
Long gone, now.
No past to go back to.
No up,
or down.
Just set our sights,
so far out,
praying we find
we’re homeward bound.
Anything’s possible
in this impossible
life.
