Pioneer

As he travel at the tip of this ship
Faster than anyone could ever have imagined
You are the only thing he can think about
The stars blur around him
As no one could ever see before
He is the first pioneer of his kind
Traveling beyond a near infinite boundary
Even if he turns back now
You are already gone
Tens of thousands of years gone by on his old home
But a few moments for his journey
That last embrace
Is all that he holds on to
So he reaches the edge of the frontier
The white blurs around him fade
And he sees only darkness ahead
As his eyes adjust one faint light comes into view
That galaxy far away
Holding a star
That grips a planet
Which he shall soon call home
It is a relief that he can call it by a familiar name
Given the honor
What else would he call it?
So his long journey continues
Theo, in his heart
Theo, straight ahead
