Engines spool up. Launch into space. Beginning of trip. Invocation. Beauty. Truth. Revelation. One is all. The light of a hundred stars. Then, warning. Alarms. Dodging asteroids. Danger ahead. The singularity. Caught in the tide. Spiraling down. Event horizon. Self-doubt sets in. Down and down. Darkness. Death is the road to awe. Eternity. Glimmering. Something changes. Coming out the other side. Light, even here. Passing through the dark. Emerging somewhere else, someone else. Collapse the light into. Shadows vanish. Engines spin down. Final trip. The epiphany of the phoenix. Glowing sole.
