Poem #08
I have emerged victorious
As yesterday has marked a moment of my celestial journey
For I have yet again soared around our beloved sun
Whatever waves that may have rocked my vessel;
Are purely those of which I’ve created
As much had seemed dire and misaligned
My path among the stars stayed true
24 years and one day ago, I began upon a journey
And one day I will lay down to end it
With any luck I will have soared around the sun
Many more times before that will happen
