Chapter One: Dare I Dream Again?

“Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can”

-Echoes Pink Floyd

 

Chapter One

                Dare I dream again?  I close my eyes to see a future that I dread.  Thousands of years for one single moment.  Alien eyes to stare back at me.  Intense dark eyes that manage to pierce the darkness.  Somehow they twinkle, as I do.  It feels as if the planets have warped out of orbit.  There is no way to translate the events to come.  I can’t see the future.  Nobody can.  A soft pale hand alone reaching out.  As cold as the flesh of the man on the moon.  Alone he is.  Lonelier than most but nothing compared to how I feel.  Exiled.  Abandoned.  Left behind the only one, but now that is a lie.  Of course there are others.  Billions of lost souls scattered across an infinite universe.  Such a strange, fragile elegant place.  There’s no place like home, but this is not my home.  It is now but at one time it wasn’t.  Life was once better.  A time where words were spoken to another and not written down to be left alone.  All will be lost.  And nobody will ever know.  I often wonder how many dream at home about Vega.  I am left alone.  Dare I dream again?
