cut6 Space Colony
Having given up her search for the savior,
Eve stepped through the strange door.
What spread before her
was a quiet world
inside a vast colony.
In the distance along the passageways,
maintenance robots moved in silence.
Beneath the high, curving ceiling,
layers of green trees
stretched on and on.
The scattered artificial lakes
trembled softly in the gentle light.
Even Eve could tell at once
that this was a constructed nature.
The wind was mild,
and even the sound of leaves stirring
reached her ears with a soft hush.
Reflections on the water
held a faint sense of relief
in her blue eyes.
The green of the trees,
the scent of the soil,
and the glimmer of the water
all felt gentle.
Though it was not real,
this landscape truly calmed her.
She tried to imagine
a future of days spent here.
What remained in her heart
was not loneliness,
but a quiet hope.
Eve thought
that perhaps
she could live here.
