At night, at times The "at times" feels very unnecessary to me.
You cannot see me when I reach to life ....Because it's night? It doesn't really make that much sense, the "you cannot see me" part. If you're trying to imply that your optimism is all hidden, try something else
Of distant galaxies of galaxies away Yeah, galaxies is repetitive. And, technically speaking, a "galaxy of galaxies" is actually called a cluster....
From light-years to stars at bay. Light-years is a measure of distance, stars are balls of gas, "at bay" either means they're parked at a harbor, or they're held back by something. This just doesn't make any sense.
Where you can see clouds and gases,
Not just Neptune and ashes The rhyme is forced. And Neptune is a ball of gas, and ashes can form clouds too.
I've found true freedom here ....a bit cliched, yes
Subtle knowings that take too long to process A bit dinky. I would word this differently, and maybe remove either the "subtle" part or the "too long to process" part since both are essentially interchangeable.
No aliens, No Martians You don't add anything with the repetition here.
Just me and nothing alive I would reword this differently. You could maybe use words that sound a bit more...I dunno, empty?
But I can see so much,
Not just blackness and dust This is weird, though, in that at any point in open space (excluding black holes, of course), it's pretty to see something interesting, due to the fact that there's a lot of stars. Now, that may sound technical, but to the part of your audience that can actually imagine being out there, this description of emptiness in sight would be really detracting. Instead of going for visual loneliness, try invoking other senses, or developing the idea that however dazzling the universe is, where you are still feels empty.
I can see the eroded Earth Period unnecessary
Where the sea has spilled over land,
Forever Sahara, a Chernobyl wasteland Sahara and Chernobyl are dry, but a sea spilling over land is wet. Conflicting imagery that doesn't seem to be intended is, well, bad.
If alive, then speak;
I can only see you watching me. This ending feels disconnected. As interesting as it is that you can only really sense the "you" looking at you, the fact that you noted seeing so many other things clearly and with the fullest of your attentions makes this point very empty. You should change this up.
