A tenuous string
fabricated with particles
of space and time

Winding it’s path
predetermined perhaps
or perhaps not

To a world full of life
clinging to the fraying
thread on the end of the reel

Fear feeds the need
to find and hear the answers
before the ultimate lose

To uncover secrets
hidden beyond the black
blanket of the Universe

The desire and drive
to be off this beautiful
planet before she dies
