The Half-Emotional Ensign

Inspired by Star Trek!

As I fly over the clouds
There is beauty
Not only down below,
But up above

The darkness waits to consume me
If I get lost, or scared, or both
Feelings I have felt before
But not in the vastness of space

Still I travel on in peace
Toward the ship, my oversized new home
Where I can either meet my wildest dreams
Or suffer my wildest sufferings.

I shake hands, find my post,
Peer outside, see stars aglow.
Sinking into the calmness of sleep,
Dreaming of the adventures that await
