The Lonely Trip

I took a trip upon a starship bound for nowhere.I thought that it would be a holiday,But it was not.I was disappointedBy the emptiness of space,The vastness of it’s lonely solitude,The unspeakable quiet of nobody there.I thought I would go mad For lack of somebody to talk to.And yet, the inward voice That had guided me in all my journeys was there.And together, we visited planet after planet.I let it take the lead. And the views were not half-bad Because of that. But I missed peopleAnd so I went back homeTo be with my people,But I told themNot to go.
