The Break of Dawn: A Spaceship Embarks

What space exploration holds in its cards is historic and immense - a poem.

Orbital sugars and fiery garlics
Crisscrossing the dimly lit candles
Of a considerable Earth,
A worldly cockpit comporting
Blazing canyons and clouds.
A vivid composition of shuttered lives
In baseline, augmented focus;
Telescopic beams extracting bold,
Brilliant photos
Of distant spaces amongst
The luminous orchestras
And agile specters
Of mighty cosmic intelligence;
Humor and wisdom expounded
And favorite company nestled in
Cozily, briskly, and congenially,
Cavorting in regal unison
Amongst the cloth-bound table settings
While simultaneously hidden away
From the voracious, cool nighttime air
Of a continental display.

The joyous boom of interstellar
Horse heads
Sporting a spirited ride
In the riveted aura -
Valiant and weathered rivulets
Span the crowded, lofty strata;
Borders of empowered skyline peer out
Amid surrounding acres of wilderness...
The shoulders of storybook legends
Exhibit bristling shields -
And the proof of sentient lifeforms persists;

The break ship to an enormous
And energetic sunrise...
The welcome role of humanity;
Amassing and engineering
A connective quotient
Of feathered fealty
And authentic grammar;
And a latitudinal embodiment
Toward gritty, exceptional beauty
And voluntary,
Sensible conceptions...

The visionary planet is aware
And ecstatically appreciative -
Of the universe's glowing presence
Of co-creation's amazing
And conceptually purposeful powers...
