Its been years since I left my home. On a mission of an honorable cause.
Selected among an admirable many. Journey in search of a hospitable place.
My home planet is threatened. Lonely demise, result of inevitable loss.
Orbiting brothers watch helplessly. Stoic, disbelief upon their planet face.
On an absolute trajectory to meet, unstoppable is the calamity of undoing.
With plenty of foreseeable warning. Diligently prepared to avoid this force.
Sent half blind toward a distant star. A place of refuge, my unknowing.
Lonely, absent of another. A thin veil of sanity, keeping me on course.
Anguish inside me so great. Knowing I will lose her to a fate so perilous.
Abused her with my ignorance. Tough love towards me, never lost.
Possible failure not a viable option. Indeed, this could be the end of us.
More to lose, producing an empty hand. Billions of souls to pay the cost.
Elements inside my hull are hers. Down to the smallest particle of being.
Without the existence of that special place, I would have never thrived.
Grew me from her very essence. From within, she gave me everything.
Improbability to complete my task. A shot in the literal dark, to be alive.
The distant light becomes brighter. Coming closer, the system of my objective.
Heliocentric spheres of destructive forces. Hiding that shiny gem from within.
Mesmerized by organization from chaos. Arranged from the infinitely explosive.
Behind the shadow of discovery. The sun reveals a promising place to begin.
Orbiting a beautifully, blue planet. Traveled further than ever known.
World so inviting with apparent life flourishing. Eagerness to take her hand.
Readings of the atmosphere. Confirming a circumstellar habitable zone.
Existence of a species unhindered. Exhilaratingly optimistic to finally land.
Touch down, on the rocky surface. Emotions only felt by the traveler of eternity.
A place for a sentient seed to spread. Joyously overwhelmed, I found the one.
How to describe this dream full of wonder. Speechless, in awe of its intrinsic beauty.
On a tiny blue dot in the middle of somewhere. The third planet from its only sun.
Trading one life for an existence. A soul's last flight back where it had begun.
