Voyager, on Leaving the Solar System
Posted by Donna Dolezal Zelzer on August 16th, 2008
Dream on, humans, dream your hopeless dreams
Of distant space while I wander dreamless
Among those very stars. On your command,
I’ve radioed back amazing wonders.
But other visions I’ve kept and
Clutched to my metallic breast.
And now it’s time to leave.
Dream on, frail humans, dream and cling,
Afraid, to your distant ball of clay;
While I, the offspring of those dreams, glide on and out,
Away….
