Far From The Norms

So long I have seen the greatness of light, of brightly majestic warm streaking bewildered of stars

For though indeed I am what I'd call a Silent Traveler, this much is known for my love of the vast

And how I yearn to traverse the cosmos, so beauteous so rare much light and more awestruck

For quickly I could travel the light and the void, so much so damn faster I'd speed off my starting!

I know of all places there lies in the fringes, of galaxies and clusters so radiant in gases

And for all such is Life may they be in much of them, such stars oh so brightly so teeming with them!

Indeed I did know for when I did stare, those pictures so much oh civilised are they of intelligence

For how would they perceive the universe around them, or how would they wonder if they were alone?

For this be mine dreams for lifetimes to come, this once and great dreamer oh me in the flesh

Alighting from fancy for reveries that's far from the norms, this world I would trade for a sojourn in stars

To meet all for once the life all out there, in planets like us or others too weirdly, for this I'd sit still

No suns no dry moons be I'd left unexplored, for a world in great glee from this within me!
