Bluelighter
Beyond the galaxy's outer rim
Where comets crawl off to die,
Long abandoned planets wobble
Faint fading star fire fills the sky.
We shriek in silent running
At twice the speed of light.
Yesterday is now tomorrow
And tomorrow is out of sight.
And still the ion engines burn;
Flaring brightly into space,
Battering 'gainst continuum walls
Until we vanish without a trace.
Tumbling down into N-Space
Within a magnetically fielded cage.
Quavering jump gate portals form
Buffeted by solar winds that rage.
Relativity is an angled perspective
And you haunt my churning mind
As we slide through porous nothing
In a maddening Einsteinian ride.
Cosmic radiation evokes memory,
Stimulating chemical starts;
Short bursts of exquisite nirvana
Opening wormholes to our hearts.
And this is where the ghosts are kept.
Far from harsh, illuminating light.
As we hurtle ever faster, downward,
Into the writhing quantum night.
Shielded lightly from abstract nothing,
The organic cellular cortex bends
And upward bubbles frothing lunacy
Sluicing past to counted sins.
Dancing with the Quantum Devil
On each and every N-Space run,
The brain generates wave particles
As all possible realities are spun.
Dreams multiply existence minutely,
Until a geometrical progression sticks.
Subtle shaping, shifting without warning
As we become the one we pick.
Bit by bit, these dreams are built
From shifting sands of what-if space,
Until at last, as homeward bound
We can no longer chart our place.
Dreamed beyond our existence
Via fluid conduits of yearning,
We have obviated our past lives
Within the wormhole's turning.
And yet, existence survives still
A smile on every crewman's face,
Might this not be the best possible
Universe to exist in our shared space?

Applauds loudly... clap clap clap!!!! That was great!!!!
