Peacefully gliding, holding hands
we engrave images of hope
on black canopies of emptiness
throughout the Universe
You whisper in my ear:
“We may soon reach Betelgeuse,
bright red
and leave behind the Earthly flood of night”,
Between tears of longing
we watch the dark shroud of shadows,
war-silenced
reflections of past creatures evolved by chance
from life creator ocean
On our free hand, like Noah
we hold seeds
and two by two animals,
I see your tears showering the Universe
with flickering stars
I whisper in your ear “we’ll start again”
