How Can They Call it Space

They say that space is mostly just space

But how can they call it space

when millions and billions of cosmic objects leisurely stroll in the vacuum 

How can they call it space 

when I can look up and make patterns out of constellations

that fill all this space

How can they call it space when space just means more room for nothingness 

All this can't be nothing

If all this is space then 

we are lost in the vastness of it all

and that's pretty scary

space is scary

space is quiet

but space isn't empty

because if space is empty 

then we are aimlessly travelling astray 

away from one another

from everything

from nothing 

How can they call it space when 

there are more stars than there are grains of sand on earth

more stars out there than there are grains of sand on our space

Emptiness is infinite 

but it is filled without end

and we are lost in the boundlessness of it all
