"You save me from the darkness that invades my mind with fury and corrupts my heart with sorrow, though you will never know of your heroic deeds as you are too far away to hear my gentle heart speak of its gratitude.
For here is a space so vast that it stands between us like an endless ocean of stars stands between two solitary planets, spinning silently in a frozen isolation, unable to witness each other's passing and forever faded into obscurity.
Your warm voice echoes in my dreams like a faint signal repeating from out of the dark, distorted and broken by the ravages of a distant voyage, yet still holds a mystical power to awaken a fierce desire within me to want to bridge this vacuous expanse which has long since swallowed all of my words uttered with meaningful tenor, all lost out there within the stillness.
I feel no regret for this love!.. I feel no shame for my passion!.. I feel only an unquenchable thirst to stand in your presence and to gaze long into the sunlight of your eyes that bring out of me a glorious feeling of beauty into an otherwise cold and hateful world.
I sometimes contemplate launching myself headlong into that emptiness in a bold and desperate mission to reach your lands, but yet I hesitate... For I know that my wounded heart in all of its cowardice chooses to stay hidden, to shelter out here on the outermost edge of your space, observing from afar like a lonesome satellite.
Because the wait keeps alive in me a hope that one day (just maybe) I will set foot upon your world in peace, to stand by your side welcome and in regard. Whereas to venture into your orbit in uncertainty risks a danger of missing your gravity completely and to be thrown back out into that bleak and barren space, lost forever amid a lifeless chasm, drifting all alone for eternity with no hope of return."
