It takes but a moment to drift up to the stars,
A brief flight through the solitude of space,
Time enough to feel the stillness and peace,
A short spell away from our race.
–
Glide away into uncharted oblivion,
Drift off deeper into the void.
Feel the heat of a solar flare,
Or sail close to an asteroid.
–
No oxygen along the darkened way.
No requirement for this mode of flight.
Coast along through cold dead air,
Float like a satellite.
–
Star studded constellations scattered about,
Speckled images form myths, from ages past.
While the universe buzzes with cosmic energy,
You float through a void that is vast.
–
On such a blind, infinite journey,
Be at one in the universe with grace.
Give thanks for being among the stars,
And stamp your mark upon the place.
