Waste of Space

flyingfish

Space is where we put Utopias.
Where Paradise Lost, was first in space.
Where else can hope, for better there-after, be put?

In the mirror, I see myself in space, 
over there, where I am not, cack-handed.

My shadow tails me every where, 
bending my space-time dimensions
with guilt and dark matter.

The cemetery is space-in-common,
for tombstone pyramids with tickets
in time-capsules to after-life in space. 

Space is a mesmerising conundrum!
A vacuum never ever filled to continuum. 
A waste of space for storing
dream-catchers caught napping.
Nothing to lose if lost.
Imagine?

    Space is there for all of us, as many on this site know I will be waiting for you all at the edge of the Universe so that we can all move into a new life beyond the Universe.
