withinyouwithoutyou

we were talking
about the space between us all
and the people
who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away

we were talking
about the love we all could share
when we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love, with our love
we could save the world, if they only knew

try to realize it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change
and to see you're really only very small
and life flows on within you and without you

we were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people
who gain the world and lose their soul
they don't know
they can't see
are you one of them

when you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there
and the time will come when you see we're all one
and life flows on within you and without you

The Legend of Staceytron -part 1

Earth in the distant future. This place was once filled with life. That life gave birth to new life. That life would feed off the meat and bones of other lives. And that life fed from other kinds of life as well. But this is Earth in the distant future. Things are quite different now. Things that were once fast have slowed to complete halt. The sun would often rise and shine over all the plentiful life that used to populate the planet. Now it seems the sun has nothing but plains of vast emptiness to shine down on. No life at all found on Earth in the distant future. What happened? Where did everything go? Lingering spirits are all that remain. Spirits live forever and only a fool could believe that humankind is without spirit. The human spirit... what does it represent?
Suddenly, something began to boil deep beneath the Earth's murky waters with bubbles conjuring up to the surface. On a beach, a figure became visible rising from the waves. How could this be? Life has not graced the land in ages... The figure appeared to be a young woman, however, being the only living being on the planet, what exactly is a woman without a man to make comparison? Her face was unlike that of any traditional human's face; it had no features. No lips, no nose, not even eyes... Being born from the deep abyss of the sea, what genetic features would such a face possess? The woman was disorientated from the long quest of traveling through ocean depths. She stumbled through the sand searching for some kind of shelter from the cold breeze that has embraced her soft flesh. She discovered some sort of rags subdued in the sand and wore them appropriately to cover her nude body. The woman looked around the vast plain of baron, lifeless land. There were huge symmetrical structures made of stone raising up through the ground. She past through them searching for any sign of life but found nothing. One of the structures she came across had a collection of strange scribes and information. What was this place? She investigated the nearest scribe filled with pages and upon touching it, could see all of it's contents. Of coarse she couldn't decipher any of the random symbols to make any sense of them but she thought that maybe if she went around and collected all of the scribes, she might figure out how to read the strange symbols.
For days she spent gathering the pages and "tele-reading" all of them. She learned that the scribes are known as "books" and that she had been reading them inside a "library." She also learned the English language and 36 other languages, fluently. After studying up on the books she realized that she couldn't be one of these humans because she felt no desire to eat or breathe. However, after getting a glimpse at humanity and the culture that used to inhabit the planet, the woman found it would be only appropriate to give herself an identity, a face like the rest of the humans she had read about and marveled over. Using only a blade she discovered and her bare hands, she carved herself her very own face to which she saw fit. She found a nearby mirror covered in dust and wiped it clean. She smiled, satisfied by her new image. While running her fingers through her hair, she noticed something else she hadn't seen before. It was a symbol on the back of her neck; a bar-code with a name under it. It read "STACEYTRON"
