Adrift the currents
Of space and time
My atlas is the axis inside
While my course is set beyond
Accelerate to the distance
The translunary expanse
My mind is restlessly anticipating
Destination
These days are spent awaiting
While light travels further than my heart
Chasing the life ahead
Memories to remind
Time passes faster the further you're falling behind
To traverse the universe
Is no small a thing
Taking for granted all that I have seen
Along the way
My sights are always set ahead
But as I consider where I am
I no longer dread this process
Because it pulled me closer to you
This road is a never-ending, ever-winding one
But it's clear to me
If I never reach Orion
When I'm with you I have already arrived
