on sails of silver

The goal is far, so I must travel fast,
The journey's long but I am meant to last,
I blaze a trail into the galaxy,
Imagine all the wonders I will see.

I've aimed my path with such a great finesse,
It's redirected by the lone goddess,
And then I dive towards the burning heart,
There lies the power for me to depart.

Thus comes the time to bid a last farewell,
To spread my wings and to escape the well,
On sails of silver, carried by the light,
I leave the system and begin my flight.

Now I'm alone here in the endless sky,
I float in peace as centuries pass by,
I won't return but I do not miss home,
The realm of stars is where I am to roam.
