Outside looking out
Outside looking in
Inside looking out
Inside looking in
Trapped outside
Trapped inside
Trapped in the world
Trapped in this galaxy
The shooting star
Sails across the cosmos
The planets orbit
Colourfully in the universe
The black holes
Voids of nothingness
Wait and lure
In the innocent
The Milky Way
So white, a pearl white
A sight to the beholder
A void of mystery
The infinite universe
Laid out before us
Dancing seductively
Singing her siren song
The earth so insignificant
Filled with water blue
Grass green
And hopes renew
Life basks in the light
Life cowers in the night
Life looks to the skies
Wishing to defy
But, only few can abandon
Many of us trapped
In the cosmos of time
Bewitched by her beauty
We are trapped
In this glass orb
But we can dream
For what seems eternity
We look out
Into the majesty of the cosmos
Bowing in her splendour
Offering her only life
We are not important
We are only a part
We are one of many cycles
We are trapped
This green earth
Our mother earth
Is our home
And, our prison
Our prison filled with beauty
It’s seductively laid before us
It’s the forbidden fruit
A taste drops us from here
We tested limits
We have seen majesties
The northern lights
And glistening ice caps
From far above
Hovering in the sky
Have we witnessed life
Crawling, bustling, living
Upward we gaze
Our eyes caressing the sky
Endless searching
For an unanswerable question
Not many can find it
Those who do can’t tell
Anything… Bound…
Sacredness silence them
Our prison guard
The majesty of the cosmos
Silences all
With the glaive of death
