.
Stasis
The rumbling of a pair of engines,
Plasma streams behind.
Departing from the Solar System,
For there are riches to find.
...
The sun's light fades with distance,
Darkness lies ahead.
Deep within the Venture Star,
People slumber, as if dead.
...
There's no sound and little light,
Deep within the void.
An entropy of solitude,
A prospect not enjoyed.
...
You don't dream in cryo,
The conscience has no place.
You're nothing more than a piece of matter,
Drifting through deep space.
...
The ship's cold both in and out,
Vapour drifts by ice.
Such is the price of deep-space travel,
An abyss of life.
...
But eventually the journey ends,
For another to begin.
Another tale, but for now,
Enjoy the sun and wind.
