Pop! An instant, and I am weightless, sharp
a vacuum steals precious air from my lungs
eyes dry, chest pressurised, filled with terror
The terror embeds within and without
my friends I am alone, deathly alone
out here, it is frigid and there is no hope
I hope Mei Li will thrive, my grounding,
beautiful and innocent, a reason to endure
out here, there is no rope, no chain, no anchors
Anchorless, held by expanse of time and space
a voiceless vacuous void - for a place
of nothing, the endlessness is full of wonder
I wonder what Mei Li would think of all this
the glimmer of stars, hinting at life
beyond all that we can fathom
We can fathom that maybe, somewhere
out there, there's another creature, like me
blending, giving, soothing hearts and souls
A girl with heart is somewhere out there
chasing adventure among the tea bushes
embracing her own grasp on infinity
Grasping infinity, nothing else
I take this great journey, hold this final breath
I embrace the emptiness and oblivion
