Distant Galaxies Collide

  video

 faster than the speed of light
through an endless starry night
driven by an unseen force
ever onwards, right on course

spiraling from here to there
everything spiraling everywhere
all is in motion all of the time
from mind to mind thoughts entwine

letting me know that you are near
resonating with what we're
conjuring in each other when
we think of the other, it is then

distant galaxies collide
crashing light beams still survive
in the spaces in between
stars and those with whom we dream

driven by an unseen force
ever onwards, right on course
through an endless starry night
faster than the speed of light...

No More Earth

 video

 no more Earth, it's disappeared
we're in space and feeling weird,
tingling birkeland currents flow
ever faster as we go

on our way to Planet B
an Earth-like world no one can see
with Proxima 'though far away,
faster than a cosmic ray

faster than the speed of light
through an endless starry night
driven by an unseen force
ever onwards right on course -

minutes turning into hours
electricity is what powers
all the stars, too you and me
just a day before we see

a small red star up ahead
close to which the world we've sped
ocean gleaming in starlight
with islands, clouds-it's such a sight

spinning slowly retrograde
like planet Venus it has made
a mystery of its special motion
with life thriving in its ocean...
