Oh what peace this day should bring In a solar orbit’s sling Because sound doesn’t know yet how to yell In the cosmic great nothing

But when it’s quiet enough to hear my thoughts The inner supernovas spark The BOOM of chaotic swirling stars Cloud the relief of the quiet dark

Jupiter’s stormy eye entraps me Swirling unable to unwind Why does the mass of a trillion galaxies Have weaker pull than my own mind?

Is it true there’s a creator? But it turns out that it’s just me? Because it’s the crashing orbs inside my brain That have the strongest gravity?

Their waves clash inside my stomach The site eternal peace belongs Oh I ache to know an exhale But those never linger very long

So while I long for cosmic silence I chase the moon to drown it out Asking the stars if they’ve ever felt it That “inner peace” they’ve bragged about
