A Greater Call

We leave. Upward, toward new dreams.
A new hope. An odyssey.
Underneath. The world left behind
Is dying as we escape gravity.

Closing my eyes and I embrace darkness.
The stars will not guide us but their light will show us the way.

We are not conquerors.
We float with the tide.

No room for fear.
A greater call.
A sacrifice for the benefit of all.
With the sun at our backs we heed and we bleed.

This is the first step to reach the infinite.
What lies ahead is unknown.
It's a quest for survival.
Past all known frontiers.
