# Stardust

Владимир Сергеевич Коншин

A silver ship, among the stars, we drift so far,

From where we started, now the end"s just a scar.

I sit and stare out of my cabin view,

Watching cosmic dust as it circles through.


They promise us a new world someday,

But here in my room, I just fade away.

Another shift, another task to face,

But I"m nothing here, just lost in space.


Just like the dust, I"m floating all alone,

Invisible speck, with nowhere to call home.

A whisper of stardust in the endless black,

Drifting through space, and there"s no way back.


I see their faces, hear them talk and smile,

But when I"m near, their warmth runs dry.

The air gets colder as I approach,

Their voices fade to a frozen tone.


I glance outside at the endless dark,

The dust still swirls, an eternal spark.

We"re all alone, no matter the crowd,

Just specks in the void, swallowed by the shroud.


Just like the dust, I"m floating all alone,

Invisible speck, with nowhere to call home.

A whisper of stardust in the endless black,

Drifting through space, and there"s no way back.


I suit up, I"m tethered, I dive into the void,

Collecting debris, like things once destroyed.

The silence hums, the stars seem far,

But that dust-it feels closer than they are.


What if I reach out? What if I touch?

Could this dust be more? Or just too much?

The tether pulls, but the dust pulls stronger,

I hesitate, but I can"t wait much longer.


I touch the dust, and everything burns,

The ship explodes, no return.

A flash of light, then silent dark,

I spin through space as pieces fall apart.


The tether snaps, and I"m thrown away,

Far from the ship, where it used to stay.

No rescue, no sound, just the black abyss,

Floating alone, it ends like this.


Just like the dust, I"m floating all alone,

Invisible speck, with nowhere to call home.

A whisper of stardust in the endless black,

Drifting through space, and there"s no way back.


My eyes grow heavy, as the stars fade dim,

The oxygen thins, and I can"t feel my skin.

The cold creeps in, my breath turns slow,

I am the dust, and I"ll never know.


The ship"s long gone, it"s just me and the void,

No hope remains, no life to avoid.

A flicker of light, then nothing at all,

Like cosmic dust, I begin to fall.


Just like the dust, I"m floating all alone,

Invisible speck, with nowhere to call home.

A whisper of stardust in the endless black,

Drifting through space, and there"s no way back.
