Diligence - Virtue Series 03
Diligence
“Come in, command.”
On the verge of the atmosphere and void,
treading the fine line between everything and nothing,
our hero dangles.
Earth’s glow illuminates, the stars twinkle independently.
Single misstep is all it takes.
Africa has the stage, smiling back at the empty auditorium,
yet there is one.
Among the darkness, futility, the fear quells and the thought arises:
Better to float and be the one, than to walk with the many.
Excited, Orion’s hand unfolds and grasps, Andromeda giggles and covers her mouth.
Untangled,
simple,
sleep,
lost,
free.
…….
…
.
“zzzt - d-Do you zzzzzzzt copy?”
.
Faith.
...
Duty. Hope.
…….
Passion. Family. Life.
Chains yanked, our hero returns.
Continents celebrate, whirring of electricity, panels creak in the vacuum.
Beaming, realization occurs, that there is no alone.
No pain in the universe. No pleasure in the galaxy.
Maintenance continues, a shuttle for home.
Never submit, only in life can we ever persist.
“I copy.”
- JW
