What Lies Beyond

What lies beyond the end?
Will our souls rise away, our hearts amend?
Or is it true, our fondest memory
Will come for us, take us away?

What lies beyond our world?
Where planets idle and galaxies swirl?
Could there be life out in the sky?
Or are we delusional, to be confined?

What lies beyond the sea?
The deepest depths, the fish swimming free?
For we have not yet found our way
To the raging ocean's giant stage.

But one thing I need to ask
And I'm sure you'll find this simple...

What lies beyond our looks?
Our likes or maybe love of books?
I know what the answer will be,
But what do you see when you look at me?
