Starring...at the world

1. Outside the Window of the space shuttle...I see the world
2. I see a whale continually flipping through the ocean
3. I see a multitude of flowers, gracefully dancing to the movement of the air
4. I see an elephant, scratching it's foot on the ground
5. I see the beauty in the world... the Window is cold
6. There is an absence of light beyond the world
7. with sprinkles of light in infinite directions
8. The beauty and chance of a floating sphere.. indescribable
9. The boundaries of the grid of time and space construct its magnificence
10. The world full of life...life-and-death...
11. I turn my gaze back onto the world
12. The world is much different now
13. Strange beings are taking over it
14. They worship boxes of metal and glass
15. It is becoming hard to see the world
16. The atmosphere is destroyed...it has become black like coal
17. I look on Left side of the world and I see hate
18. I look on the Right side and I see destruction
19. There is a chaos...a war
20. These being are causing more destruction...to themselves
21. The have created a dreadful...disoriented place
22. Many of them have died due to the hate of another
23. Two arrays of light issue on either side of the world
24. There are an infinite amount of colors
25. Colors that I have never seen before...in perfect alignment
26. The light spreads and its beauty spreads
27. This light was breathtaking and perfect
28. Then, the light becomes fire
29. A fire masking the earth
30. I touch the window, and my hand begins to burn
31. It smells like burning carcases
32. The fire stops
33. It leaves an ash...and all form of life dies
34. The world is empty and alone
35. The Water eventually recedes
36. and what previously had life is just a rock
37. A rock floating space
38. I hear a voice say, “Let there be Light”
39. My eyes become sealed and I fall asleep
40. I awakened
41. I feel the Window...it is cold
42. And Outside the Window...I see the world
43. and a whale continually flipping through the ocean
