The blackness of space beckons
Dreams of other worlds
Hopes of freedoms
Minds open to each other.
What have we created
Here on this our world
Are we the destroyers
Preying upon ourselves.
Nature takes a step
Unbeknownst to us
Death is the release
In the neverending cycle.
Survival in infinity
The mind our only chance
Here the signs at last
Evolution is at hand.
Are we strong enough
To leave our nest behind
The steps to take are long
Rewards are still uncertain.
Man must move ahead
He cannot stay being
Our future is the only goal
And life the only prize.
Fear the subtle partner
Forewarns of danger near
Forge ahead we say to all
For we must play our part.
Ones and twos at first
Soon the rest will follow
Do not regret the choice
It was the only way.
Thoughts flow unrestricted
Time and space are one
Neverending dreams
The evolution of man.
Freedom's Place
