Once a voyager of sky and sea
On Earth I left the vast majority
Of those who chose the illusion of security
Over the idea of living truly free
I have abandoned all earthly possessions
The idea of an unconventional view is my only concession
I leave behind all of my past
To voyage across a universe so vast
I know it is unlikely
That I will find the other half of me
So for now, content with myself I'll be
As I trawl this endless sea of stars
I am battle-worn and covered in scars
Speed past assaults from the asteroid belt
Which lies beyond the red planet, Mars
At the universe's cold black mercy,
It knows of my tender vulnerability
I man this spacecraft all alone
To find another heart to call my home
