The Wide Emptiness
Matthias Trautes
The small in the endlessness
A drop in the vast ocean
The infinite where a lifetime means nothing
A meaningless spark in the dark
Nothing
A dim perception
Distance beyond comprehension
Rising phenomena, no imagination
Unable to understand
I gaze into the sky
Witness an ancient cry
A faint light from the blast
A picture of our past
Floating across the black sea
Facing the colossus in the core
Orbiting the source
Combined by the invisible force
A journey with bleak future
As sanity will not prevail
A fading civilization
Towards extermination
Realize your nothingness
In the wide cosmic emptiness
