A Dark Potential

When I look at the sky,
I only do so at night.
Watching the stars twinkle ever so gently.
Wondering what it would feel like, 
To be consumed of weightlessness, 
To hear the silence of the never ending space. 
Seeing the world from a different view.
All of the vibrant colors radiating off the atmosphere. 
All of the blue from oceans, white from clouds, and green from land.
Only to look the other way, to find darkness.
A darkness with such promising potential.
