In the cosmos' expanse a lone astronaut drifts Abandoned forgotten his spirit adrift. A space station tomb a solitary abode Where silence reigns in the void he strode. Alone amidst stars he sought solace in AI Plugging his mind seeking worlds to defy. Countless lifetimes in seconds unfurled In the blink of an eye entire worlds swirled. He lived as kings as paupers as slaves In each fleeting life he danced on graves. Through epochs and eras he journeyed wide A kaleidoscope of time no respite to abide. Yet when he awoke from this endless spree Madness consumed him an endless sea. Faces and voices a cacophony amassed Echoes of lives an eternity surpassed. In the hollow silence of the station's domain He conversed with apparitions a varied train. Each visage a tale a life once lived In this desolate place their stories sieved. To them he spun a yarn a tale to bind Of cosmic voyages of a troubled mind. He whispered of madness a chilling embrace And declared in anguish this desolate space: "Anything even madness surpasses the blight Of loneliness a void devoid of light. For in this vast expanse solitude's cold touch Bleeds the soul it devours much." The apparitions listened their presence rife Absorbing his words the essence of life. A moral emerged from his haunted tongue That amidst endlessness loneliness stung. So in the silence of that cosmic abode He spoke to phantoms down the time's road. Madness he faced yet loneliness abhorred In spectral company his solace restored rfcreaturae lora:rfcreaturaev3:1
