"Far Beyond"
Somewhere among the distant dark,
Beyond
where the black stars hang
Exists
some sort of sentience,
A kind of perception
with eons of existence.
Treating time
as a superfluous indulgence
to swim through
intersecting from the now
to the then
only peering in
for a moment
to take its existential breath
before disappear again.
Some kind of thing
floating outside of time
among the cosmos
passing by the waterfalls of stars
and the pillars of creation,
Watching cosmic lights dance and flicker
as supernovas gleam and glimmer
against the infinite darkness.
An ever changing mass
of amalgamative blackness,
swirling and swaying
just beyond perception.
Pulsating with ancient purpose
existing in size
on a scale
we could not comprehend.
Swallowing whole solar systems within
and leaving them
inside an eternal darkness
for millennia
as it moved on
in what for it
would be but an instant.
Experiencing reality
inside moments
we could never understand.
Oblivious to insignificant blips
of life
that fizzle out
with no trace
they were even there.
This sentience
lives among the blackness
of infinity,
never to show itself
to something like us.
Existing so far beyond
we could never
comprehend.
