I took a trip upon a starship bound for nowhere.

I thought that it would be a holiday,

But it was not.

I was disappointed

By the emptiness of space,

The vastness of it’s lonely solitude,

The unspeakable quiet of nobody there.

I thought I would go mad 

For lack of somebody to talk to.

And yet, the inward voice 

That had guided me in all my journeys was there.

And together, we visited planet after planet.

I let it take the lead. And the views were not half-bad 

Because of that. But I missed people

And so I went back home

To be with my people,

But I told them

Not to go.
