The Earth Understands:
I hear your words and understand,
that your paths lie far and wide,
I will not force you to join me,
in this match that I must find.
Amongst the stars and distant lands.
Your freedom is your pride.
Your journey is yours to see,
I almost envy your flight.
I will not implore you to stay.
as you glide through the universe.
Though we may never meet again,
May your travels bring you joy,
your destiny, yours to play.
never lose your love for the diverse.
May the heavens be your friend,
May you find new worlds to explore.
Oh free fliers, I understand,
your destiny is not to be tied to one,
but to be free and fly amongst the stars.
So go.
I see now that my request was foolish and unplanned,
for you are meant to soar and shine like the Sun,
and travel afar, near and far.
Leave me now.
I apologize for the imposition,
and I wish you well on your journeys to come,
as you blaze a trail across the sky.
Forgotten and already gone.
May you continue to bring wonder and inspiration,
as you travel through the cosmos and roam,
and may your beauty never die.
In the memories, you leave.
I thank you for your candid reply,
and I hope that one day, we may meet again,
under different circumstances and skies.
So be on your way.
Until then, I bid you farewell, as you fly,
and I will cherish the memories of when
your brilliance lit up my eyes
though darkness follows.
