Sea the Stars

Deadleaf Mantis

4

Theres a hole in the ocean above us

Underneath all the foam

Scratching the surface of the unknownThe search for a goldilocks to call home

Im past the reach of the outer limits

Were all familiar stars lose their glisten

Will you make it long enough to receive transmission

The hands on the face allow me to complete my mission

Will you be

Everyone loves a space fairing man

Awaken from hyper sleep

Count out all the years I′ve had too much to dream

Every being being controlled by a string

The only thing keeping their feet planted to the green

We are the sewn seed

Sweating for cash that can't buy back the time it takes

Don′t get wise too late

This happens more than often

Wondering if I've launched from the Earth in a coffin

Following the spinning compass

A spiraling Consciousness

Im lost in a mirage

Imagine a montage of ménage à trois

I wanna go back to what once was

Prior to our televisions getting thinner

No t.v. dinner

Before our Universe was altered and off center

Can you remember the memories

Before they stained the Berensteins

Hanging out wasn't phone screens

No reason to act happy

The whole worlds a stage

Eat, Love, Play, its all the same

No matter how the surroundings change

Everyone loves a space fairing man

Cradling the skeleton in his hands

Sea the Stars

Cradling the entire skeleton in his hands

Captains log supplemental

The Universe is mocking me

That haunting giggle

How many rations till this becomes a struggle

I left my hope with my love

Across the lightyears

That truth slowly sears

Shower my cheeks, computer speaks

A habitable planet

Hyper slumber set to wake before the vessels landed

Blurry eyes shoot open

Such a sight to see

Atmosphere purple and pink

Glowing trees

Leaves applaud with the breeze

Such a sight to see

I can′t help but sing

My boots hit the crust

I send out the beacon

Far beyond what we were seeking

Every test left me gleaming

Perfect for our species

I just had to guide them

Then I stopped smiling

Looming figures on the horizon

Paralyzed, eyes at their widest

Silhouettes split the void

Illuminated speech

Their leader mimics my voice

4th dimensional beings

Something out of a dream

Brought to their ship with out being told a thing

Destination blue and green

Suspended in a sun beam

Am I diving back into the sea

Position compromised

Classified as a threat, makers met

Need to extinguish us before their past tense

I need and update on the status

No time for questions

No need for practice

Pulling the skeleton close as we tango on the casket

The shine presses my skin before sunset

I got one eye close staring past it

Frantic and ecstatic

Striking matches on the mattress

Bringing light to the monsters that couldn′t be a imagined

A quick glimpse of passion

Instincts take over before I can fathom

I peer into the blinking chasm

Open the airlocks the creatures slow in reaction

Could I reach escape velocity

Bending fate

A fraction of oxygen in my tank

I walk the plank

Plummet into space

Scintillation escalates

The fleet of war ships turns to swirls

Closing both eyes

Spiraling to the world

Only minutes to evacuate

Jet propulsion activates

Fix my gaze

Release a shallowed breath gasp

Realizing I'm the only human left

Leaves dressed every building and street

Parallel lines of grading green

Nature she reclaimed her complexion

So many questions with only moments for reflection

Did anyone survive and reach a safe haven

Is there any significance to my creation

Another variable in the equation easily erases

Sensing the disruption in the tides

I get ready for the ride

Everyone loves a space fairing man

Cradling the skeleton in his hands

Sea the Stars

Cradling the entire skeleton in his hands

Sea the Stars

Reveling in all the beauty and sounds from the Earth

Before the burst of silence

Turning to the horsemen riding on the horizon

The pale horses diamond widens

Raising his sword triumphantly

The blinding paleness brightens

Swallowed by a blue moon

The beams twist, the waves swoon

Stop questioning if this is an existence wasted

Find solace in the journey not the destination
