Velocity

It's velocity that tears, destroys and ends lives. Speeding through ourselves we burn up heartbeats like bullets through non-resistent flesh. So bored are we that we race ourselves from one small god to the next and the next and the next... How long do those shadows, trailing behind distant stars, just beyond reach, always going away from us, run? Like the universe we pursue the limits of, they forever expand at nearly the speed of Light. Velocity. Ever increasing as we are, we speed onward, expanding the distance from ourselves; the same self we so desperately seek. - Looking for light, we enter the darkness, of deep space, going away from our own Sun.
