Through A Somber Galaxy

on my voyage through vast space

towards the heart of brilliancy,

I must cope with the unknow face of a somber galaxy

this universe, seemingly vacant and dead;

shapeless and black as the night,

appears all the same full of life, immensly rich

limited by human sense,

I can only feel the force:

what is near but seems distant;

all those eyes behind countless doors,

that observe me, physically present and real

the knights of light don't resist.

I pass untouched through their guard

I've stood their test

the change of an era has come -

a new age is born

as it's been forseen so long

a period of thought and insight -

man must survive

though he's conjured his chances so many a time

and asked for the gift of life more than twice

his final run of luck has come now.
