Desolate Spheres

I close my eyes and the sun goes out
 Hold a breath and all of the creatures fall dead
 Cover my ears and the universe goes silent
 Not a water drop
 Not a heartbeat
 Not a sound from a songbird in any of the 4 corners
 I swallow the stars until they burn like coals through my eyes
 My outline glows against the night sky like an eclipse of the sun
 And sparks follow each of my movements like a shower of meteors
 I light up the sky with the Aurora
 Comets appear before dawn
 He greets us at death in that quiet place that is faint in our memories
 That place that has always been there but we can't quite remember
 When you cross that bridge to the other world, open the door and step through
 Step through the stars, swim through the gate
 Touch the very boundaries of the universe
