From the heavens shining lights
The many yet far between
Cold and loveless
Invisible in the night
Those that cannot be seen

Rocks tumble
Into collisions unheard
Dim and dusty surfaces
Barren and lightless worlds
Black holes spiral
Consuming all that draw too near
Collapsing under the pressure
Light
Gas
Stars
Into one mass they sear
Crushed into their essence
Pushing and pulling
Lifeless planets aimlessly adrift
In the silent void
Lacking the light of day
Once born by their sovereign one

But lucky is the living
Spun from the gravitational blessings
Of the life breathing sun
At the center of its world
The one that bears fruit
On a surface so harsh
In the oceans life thrives
And in the green lands above
Life
The living
Born only to yearn
With every passing turn
And born again
A life continues on
