Towards a New Horizon

O winter stars - so bright

Thy features - most beautiful

My angel, my goddess, the full

Moon and thy radiant light

Lead us on our aspiring flight

Through falling snow and mournful

Scenes, past cold and delightful

Sceneries in the darkest night

To escape the preconceptions

Of man and yet again fail on that

Alas! We hasten our evolution's

Pace and nature, whereat

They forsake us, the creations

Of starbound love in human format

Ah! Thou art less than divine

The stars of the northern sky

My angel, a constellation, thy

Guidance falls into a decline

Still so luminous, but stars shine

Brightest before they die

We elude the confines of man and thereby

Reach for the one we enshrine

Finally, as the centuries have pass

We have grown out of thorns to realize

That every course leads to an impasse

Even in a system of this size

'Twas an error to try to surpass

mankind or e'er attempt to arise

On the edge of humanity and a new frontier

We perceive that nothing has chang'd

Alas! All the luminaries derang'd

From what we saw from our hemisphere

'Twas a failure to adhere

To thee! For years on end we rang'd

Along darkness and thus became estrang'd

Lo! The distort'd visage! O the fear

Of being left here on a backward-land

My angel, our universe! As before

We voyage in darkness and

Cold, through falling snow or

Fallen stars in the grand

Solitude - now and for evermore
