Final Frontier

My eyes are wax dim to the beauty said to be in this world

For it doesn't compare to the universe above.

I wish to be like the astronauts that travel there

That get to see stars in perpetual night

And the sun rise over the Sea of Japan

I want to watch the Milky Way run like a rushing river

And the moon grow fuller minute by minute

To grab comets by their tails and watch them squirm

To ski along the Ganymede; Jump through the rings of Saturn

And watch Venus change its shape

Hold my breath as I pass through giants of gas

Steal diamonds from distant planets

And find my way to the end of the universe.

To watch time fly faster and faster

To find life somewhere pass this lonely world.
