The Journey Unknown

Deep skies and oceans above I have reached 
Occasionally come to Earth for a brief moment 
But back I go 

Where I lie I'm never quite sure
When will I come back
I can only hope to know

What seeks me tomorrow
Is far too uncertain
To bother me this evening

Today, after my brief journey on this earth
I have learned not to dwell
Over the unknown
Not to cry
Over the inevitable 
And to accept 
The spiritual

I have experienced
Less than most 
Touched the lives of many
But touched my own, someday I hope
