Somewhere in the Sky

I drew from the well of wisdom

but the sages had drunk it dry.

Perhaps this planet’s death will come

but i’ll live to wave it good-bye.

You see, there is a part of me

which believes in eternity.

There is a cosmic consciousness

in which i will live on, i guess.

So how did i ever arrive

at the thought that i will survive?

I’ll have to let my body go;

the rest will continue to grow.

All our bodies, planets, and stuff

are not intangible enough.
