Title: Through the Never

All that is, was and will be

Universe much too big to see



Time and space never ending

Disturbing thoughts, questions pending

Limitations of human understanding

Too quick to criticize

Obligation to survive

We hunger to be alive



All that is, ever

Ever was

Will be ever

Twisting

Turning

Through the never



In the dark, see past our eyes

Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies



Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens

On a quest, meaning, reason

Came to be, how it begun

All alone in the family of the sun

Curiosity teasing everyone

On our home, third stone from the sun



All that is, ever

Ever was

Will be ever

Twisting

Turning

Through the never



On through the never

We must go

On through the never

Out to the

Edge of forever

We must go

On through the never

Then never comes



All that is, ever

Ever was

Will be ever

Twisting

Turning

Who we are

Ask forever

Twisting

Turning

Through the never

Never
