Here we are

Floating above thick trees
Above dark clouds
Above the weeping world

We'd say into the stars then
but that's a lie of omission,
denying the hardships
of what that journey entails

Heading for our own sun-star
gets too hot after only a few blocks --
even our own planet is starting
to feel the need
to scooch back
from the heat

But those other lights
out there
calling to us
are so far, so cold

As fast as I fly
I don't get any closer

The only thing left
is to jump to leap
to have faith, shun doubt

The old ways aren't working
and we don't have time
to screw around
trying to figure out
a logical solution
unlogic is all that remains
reverse inverse the universe
turn it inside out
to jump to a new star

Be in ourselves
the nebula
we are seeking
