Skipping Too Many Stars

Journey taking too long
Long flight life trip
Bursting onto the scene
Fame gone in flash

Name living till forever
Prancing galaxy to galaxy
Searching for endless beginnings
Not one in sight

No not yet anyway
Next stop twinkling ahead
Time warped engines roaring
Cosmic dust trailing behind

That last blue planet
Curious lot were they
Barely breaking own atmosphere
Local moon major feat

Must leave before discovered
These creatures quite unstable
Young ones killing others
Older ones just watching

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."
