Dare Risk, Travel to the Moon

 

It seemed that I dared

To climb the stairs toward heaven

Effort over a millennium, or was it timeless?

A spiritual goal pursued in this endless universe

No pure maidens in the reception line

Just me, newly arrived, still in motion

Without direction, decisiveness, where to advance?

Torn between space, life and the ticking clock

 

While the ultimate brain conjured, matriculated, digested

Gasped, overwhelmed, in hypnotic fashion

Is it my arrival or my escape, or the inevitability of the day?

 

Some have purpose, desires and goals

Some follow their love instinct, or destiny

Some must lead and conquer

I myself motivate the everyman

Every grain in my body  still demands freedom, choice

Every right I have to climb the staircase to freedom

But even if you dare upward to heaven

One must ask for forgiveness

As you leave loved ones behind

 

Leave your tools, though you still possess a keen intellect

Almost stripped down, a passenger, daring

With destiny around the corner, belief still questioned!

 

So up and up, isolated from all I had but my brains

A voyager, I risk life �" wondering for what?

For posterity �" they don’t care. Eternal honor

Soon to forget and superseded

So a risk-taker, plunked down my wealth

Accepted, aged, hope to bring sanity

To experimenter’s, ego drive, vanity and famous

Or just join a historic event coming for the advent of a new ride

Safety and terminal cancellation as Iast into the rocket

Now to please the leader, all a risk. Take off.

Observe the rocket into the hemisphere �"good takeoff.

I am now helpless on the rocket airship to the Moon
