Space

Human beings were meant to explore the universe.

We have stars and blood and veins in our hearts. Our veins are as intergalactic as the Milky Way up above. Our blood runs as stars shift through the sky. We have hearts and emotions as wide and expansive as the place up above. Our feelings are like worlds that encompass our whole being. We have souls that reach up to the sky and that shimmer down to the Earth’s core.

We were meant to go beyond and reach for the stars, to see what’s up there. We are the universe. We have its dust in our veins and its blood in our hearts. We seek to find a home within the stars, because we may not find home within ourselves.

Why don’t we find home within ourselves? Because we are lonely. We will always try to find companionship and love where it does not exist and create some for ourselves so we feel loved. But where does it exist?

In another heart. In someone else’s. In you.

My love for you is the universe

So big and true, ever-expanding

With no place, no limitations

Infinite

Your love is the universe

Fills me up like air in my lungs

Gives me the very breath to breathe

Fills me up to the point of being.

Our love is the universe

Always growing, always there

So wide it encompasses everything

Encompasses fear and anger and hurt and melds that into love

Where everything will be safe and okay.

everything is okay.

Because we created our own universe.

And it is amazing.
