Starlit emptiness

Our love speaks without a sound

Hearts beat in silence

.

Vacuum of space, yet

Your presence fills my being

Wordless connection

.

In the void, we float

Lips move, no whisper escapes

Love needs no echo

These are beautiful and so tragic given the setting and the inevitable.

Absolute stillness

An unknown circumstance which

Would drive us all mad.

So I guess all those movies that show guns firing and explosions with sound attached in space are wrong.

Laser beam signal

Light sound sent.

Deep space , heavenly bound,

Never heard from again.

A mute heaven calls

In ways that cannot be heard

Save by those near sleep

Now that you're cold, tell me what you say.

Now that you're cold and gone -

Tell. Me. Now. What. You. Say.

Alone and afraid

Flushed out from the cargo bay

Yet I still hear you

I do wonder at the idea of sound waves not traveling through a vacuum. Light waves certainly do. Hmm...

Honeygloom's avatar

Apples and oranges kinda, sound waves aren’t made up of photons like light waves are and they need a medium in order to travel, like air or water, which aren’t present in a vacuum. Probably someone smarter than me can explain it better😅 But that’s the gist anyway.

What can I say? Life is a perpetual mystery! And I learn something new everyday. Woohoo!

It's silent, in space,

But I could still hear her heart,

Calling out to mine... 😎

Feel for it, for life

Listen through the straining dark

Only silence comes

Take me home, I beg!

To whale songs, whispering winds

To life’s sweet chorus!
