I did leave this place
this earth that’s just not for me
I fired up my rocket ship
and blasted off into space
to travel at the speed of light
to my yet unknown destiny .
It was Friday
and I passed the moon and the milky way
off to a galaxy far far away
I traveled for nights and I traveled for days
till earth was just a distant memory .
Just as my fuel tanks neared empty
and I’ve almost given up hope
finally a planet appeared in my telescope
and I was slung into it’s orbit
the engines of my rocket ship shut down
and finding a save landing spot
was the scariest bit
but with the unexpected help of an alien woman so I did ...
I opened the hatch and left my ship -
she greeted me with a curious smile
and when I looked into her big brown eyes
I knew I belonged immediately –
my past earthly life just a distant blip .
She took me into her homely home
to where her young son awaited
and when I saw them together so close as a family
I knew I’ve lived a life not wasted .
We talked for hours we talked for days
like two souls for centuries connected
on a cloudless Sunday night I walked her outside
into the evening dew
so we could stare up at the starry night -
every constellation was so clear and bright .
And suddenly I knew
why earth is just not for me .
