Adrift

   Adrift, in the cold emptiness of the never ending dark. Floating through time and space,lost,alone. Nothing is around,nobody is close by. Just you and the vast big emptiness. Relaxed,letting go,floating. Slowly moving forward into deeper nothingness with no fear,excitement or any emotion. Just there,just afloat,adrift. Bodies of rock,big and small pass by,slowly rotating and slowly moving on,passing by, themselves. The rock has no purpose, yet it still keeps on floating forward. Stars shine in the distance. A messenger,a memory,a figment of the past. A new hope for the better tomorrow and a clarity for the moment that is now. A guide,slowly joined by the others,ever watchful. Guiding,calling,comforting and encouraging.

   The thoughts creep in,hard to let go..the past,the present and the future but the moment demands clarity. To keep on moving forward, the moment demands clarity in order to keep the journey going. A massive space body,gas,light,an insignificant giant in the sea of space.The planet. Storms rage yet there is a promise of hope,of life. A new beginning. Slowly attracted by the gravity of the massive planet,descending,falling,deeper and faster..sense of self is lost,caught in the moment,letting go,falling. It is all or nothing,the end of the journey,a big hard smash into the new life and the new beginning or..a shattering smashing, fall, into tiny little pieces,destined to be adrift later on,searching for a new place to crash into,for a new beginning,new story and continue the journey towards the different life. The fall,the smash has to happen,that is the rule. The outcome is unknown until it happens. Smaller and lighter yet with so much history behind..adrift again..or perhaps a new life on a new planet,new beginning,a new story. Only ever watchful guide,many,all of them,stars...they know the answer.
