Contact Light

Leaving this sphere
Is there anybody up here?
I ask with cautious
Curiosity

I thought there were stars
I thought I could see far
But this place has a black
Propensity

My sight and sound
Circle around and 'round
My mind feeling a certain
Intensity

I see my goal ahead
Or so I thought...I might be dead.
My own blood and heart
Arrested me...

I'm losing ground
As my home spirals away
I wave goodbye
I become the night

Tomorrow
Loses meaning
I'm so very
Small out here

I know everything
Must go right
If I have
Any hope

Why even hope?
Of any hope
To contact
Light...

I make one small step...

I take a leap
Across giants
Of gaping maws
And blackened ash

I see the sun
It beckons me
It calls my name
Yet I cannot leave

I turn away
I face myself
The night, it seems
I face myself

I jump to grasp
One final flight
Away from home
As I beg, I plead

To just once

Contact light.
