Through the Dark

About humanity's destiny for Big Poetry Prompt Contest.

Through the Dark

Voices reverberate through interstellar shadows,
Echo through the shades of eternal night,
Call humanity out of Earth’s womb.

Generated from the dust of dead stars,
A species predestined to explore the interstellar medium,
Humanity responds
To the demands of destiny
By kicking the walls of its womb;
By breaking the barrier between itself
And the prerequisites of an expanding universe.
