The Long Way Home

A thousand times a thousand worlds,

Under a million skies.

I've seen the spectrum of Creation,

Through a child's weary eyes.

To find a home, a place to rest,

I admit that's my desire.

But I must move on, must keep Them out,

Must keep safe the titan's fire.

As I walk the bounds, I'm like a ghost,

Slip through worlds unseen.

Watching as time passes by,

Life a fleeting dream.

May not be heading homewards,

But still travelling the bound.

I've seen the spectrum of mankind,

Yet loneliness abounds.
