Unexpectedly, a memory catches me off balance,
Yearning with each step, will a smile keep up?
Fearful of the past, I stand still in silence,
Troubled by echoes in my reflection playing out.
Time drags on; each instant feels burdensome,
Delusions of what could be, lost in the moment,
Faint whispers of hope are barely perceived,
As echoes of doubt cling to my every view

Celestial bodies in a cosmic dance,
Yearning for connection, given the chance.
Separate stars, destined never to collide,
Shine in their orbits, distant yet allied
Intricate woes of silence in massive proportions,
Balanced by the stars' celestial fortunes.
Paths ordained by forces that are unknown
Illuminating the question are we truly alone

In the silence, as a planet I drift to be free,
Distancing from the star where warmth used to be.
With a trembling core, no longer at gravity plea,
I navigate the void, seeking what’s meant for me.
Amidst the cosmos, my findings collide,
Each revelation swallowed by a black hole’s tide.
Realizing the journey, profound and deep,
In the endless expanse, I find solace in each leap.
