I cast my gaze Beyond,
Beyond the bubble of personal space
Beyond the walls that surround me
Beyond the concrete home that I live in
Beyond the weary families in the neighbourhood
Beyond the morose exhaustion of city life
Beyond the country divided by its people
Beyond the continent that struggles with global chaos
Beyond the world that sheds tears as it pulls itself together
I cast my gaze Above,
Above to the puffy clouds
Above to the freedom of the ether
Above to the beginning of outer space
Above to the moon and stars
Above to the majestic planets orbiting near ours
Above to the the biggest Star
Above to the Milky Way
Above to the Universe
And my eternal soul yearns deeply,
For the home where my soul began
For the home that is light years away from me
For the home that I know deep down
For the home that I have yet to see
In my eternal soul, I feel its existence tied to mine,
Even if I have yet to see,
The home of my eternal soul.
