Voyager 1
Lost on a path,
Set out before it,
Calculated to precision,
The Earth but a speck in the emptiness,
The sun but a twinkle in the dark
Barreling toward the void,
Rushing into the vacuum,
With its eyes shut,
About to become one with the abyss surrounding it
Time
Time is an illusion - Albert Einstein
We see hazy outlines of
a future that could have been,
Close enough to touch,
Yet veiled from within.
We gaze wistfully at the past,
Frozen in photographs,
Alive in our minds,
The resounding echo of a laugh.
We live in the present but never experience it,
An infinitesimally small moment,
Always there,
But always gone.
