Heaven Sent

I'm standing on the platform, but I ain't waiting for a train It's a spaceship I'm about to enter to take me to another plane I'm going on a journey and I'll be gone for many a year But the sights I view will marvel I, and quell all my fears The countdown has reached it's prime as the boosters ignite the fuel Blast off as I head to the heavens, escaping the atmosphere's cool The tanks that have carried me here, are released to fall to the earth There's no turning back I say to myself, this is a time to feel worth The first thing I do when we orbit, is to view where I came from Whatever I find, where ever I go, there will only be one place called home Into the black void we travel, passing abandoned pieces of man Redundantly left to roam, they have finished their part of his plan We pass many particles of matter, forever strewn in this darkened world Remnants of explosions from it's past, in ever travelling hurl Bright lights appear all around, these plasma luminous balls Held together by gravity, growing up they left us in enthralled As we travel we become very wary, of the monster from this deep Black Holes we are told many a time, from them nothing seeps These regions of space lure, not even light can escape Anything bright in it's presence, becomes inter planetary rape But out in this uncharted territory lies a beautiful wonderful place It's called the Milky Way Galaxy, it's where our Solar System is graced If man ever decides to frequent, we have to leave many traits behind For if there are others out here, we really have to be A totally different, mankind.
