Eternity

by emmapeterson

We see the stars not empty space When looking at the nighttime sky; Dark will not win, it won't erase. We turn our cheek, sun on our face Through pain that we can not deny, We see the stars not empty space. And Mars can’t beat the human race As he tempts with fake alibis. Dark will not win, it won't erase. With wonder, hopeless, we all chase A comet, space dust, soaring by. We see the stars not empty space. When we get lost off in someplace Our galaxy will soothe the cries. Dark will not win, it won't erase. The universe, a wondrous place Doth gift the planets to our eyes, We see the stars not empty space, Dark will not win, it won't erase.

Notes

Inspired by the following quote from Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles":

“Love won over hate if you danced through the night and did not let sorrow steal your soul”
