My
starship.
Friends,
sunsets, sowing our wild oats.
Day’s
spent in starship all alone.
Dad
crying out, come in!
Another
daydream blown.
My
first kiss under the full moon.
Later,
I wept there too,
like
the world would end that June.
One
less boyfriend, but starship left me whole.
I
really miss the nights the Milky Way,
reached
down and stole my soul.
It
seems strange to be back here in starship.
I
never thought I’d weep here again.
Even
though I’ve said goodbye to you, dad.
I’d
give anything to hear you call me in.

Thank you, Jim.
DeleteThat ache to hear a voice that no longer speaks on this earth - it's a hard thing to bear.

DeleteI love the reflections and the travel back to childhood... I think we all need such a starship just to be able to travel in time.
