Lost In The Universe I still like to go outside and look at the stars, even if the cold is cutting like a knife, like tonight. I look at the stars stuck fast in the crystal air and find the bright shapes that we used to find. When we sat on the light-speckled glass roof and just traced the paths of triangles and hexagons and stars within stars.Lost In The Universe by ~Ilterendi
Occasionally I see the lights and shapes of ships as I gaze up into the pinpoints of light. Not the planes that are bound for the many cities of the world, I mean the big interstellar vessels. If I look up I can see them cast a shadow over a small part of the sky.
Sometimes I wonder if you could be traveling on one of

It was one o'clock in the morning. The glowing numbers stared at him resolutely, forcing him to move. The air was chill as he stood by the large window. Outside a cobalt sky showed the stars like a city of light, twinkling in their slow treks around the horizon.
He crossed the large bedroom to the reflective glass door, which slid open soundlessly. His feet were cold on the smooth, stone floor. The environmental control glowed a dim green on the wall. 56 degrees Fahrenheit. A good number, but Anchal would complain in her not-unfriendly way the next morning.

And said my secrets safe with you
Closed my eyes and turned
A golden key
Laid down to rest
But somehow
The earth had found
A way to be untrue
My secrets never mattered
To a mother cold as you
And no matter how I wished
Beneath stars or sinking moon
Not an answer
Just a promise
Of an ending coming soon
So I wandered through a thousand lives
And lived them one by one
Closed my eyes
They slipped away
I forgot where I'd begun
The Road Is Moving I turn aroundThe Road Is Moving by ~Ilterendi
But nothing's there
We're running so fast
We forget where
I've gone so far in this lifeline
I need a new life
But where to start from?
We've been here so long
After awhile
We forget the beauty
Of the moment, the unknown
It's burning right through me
I gave you time
Time didn't care
Now who's waiting
Who's around the corner?
We're so far past a dead end
Feels like a start to forever
Where am I going?
The road is moving
After awhile
We forget the beauty
Of the moment, the unknown
It's burning right through me
