DARK LIT SPACE

these arms, strong arms
so useless to him now 
reach outwards to the cosmos
to find him there somehow

these arms, strong arms
find empty dark lit space
yet still these arms reach
desperately
to find a trail to trace

and god they say
is where he's at
but where, oh tell me...
where is that?

and how far must
these strong arms reach
to find the gap
'tween life and death to breach?
