There’s a variant in the mindset

Of someone who dreams of going to space, and someone who has already gone

The vision of living among the stars in a vast, unexplored vacuum

To see the universe for what it is,
Everything contained in a sea of nothing

A boundless void of endlessness.

The possibilities alone can titillate the tamed.

But to those who have experienced it,

Who have floated through the cosmos

Drifted across heaven like the angels we pray to,

To them, they dream of nothing more

Than to come home,

To ground and gravity

To form and the finite.

To life.
