Astral Travel

By Jiya Somai

In the midst of ramifications of existence and demise

My consciousness wanders around the thought of a place I have never been to

Submerging in the heights of an empty space

Dark as my wit. Floating through the cosmos

A buoyant being.

As I bid farewell to my transient body

My flesh, bones and eyes

Embracing this eternal soul

A soul full of forgotten memories

I watch the dancing stars

And asteroids running marathons

They make me feel infinite

Make me feel unusual yet unique

Their light pierces through my soul

Making me a part of them.

Watching supernovas colliding

Reminds me of you

Reminds me to liberate myself from myself

Reminds me of the secrets of this unreal reality

Reminds me of how this universe was born

And that one day, one day will come

When we all must explode

And feel like one.
