Star Light Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

you journey through great distances
unfazed by the emptiness of space
the ever so present gravitational force
that pushes and pulls at you
in an endless power game
your persistence remains the same
channeling through the blackness
in your race against time
your destination unknown
your perseverance surpasses all

with a clean conscious
you shoot through millions of miles
your dream well preserved
your race unchallenged
you cruise with forbidden speeds
with no fatigue to stop you
and no sweat to wet your face
your pace remains the same
as you exceed your targets
passing every milestones
succeeding in your duties
that is what you do...


traveling at the speed of light
putting a million miles behind you
every second is an exploration
a search for meaning
a journey through life
but yet you tire not
you never age a bit
that is who you are...

in your wild voyage
you spent not even a cent
you consumed not even a pint
your energy is unsurpassed
your greatness unchallenged
in your race of a lifetime
your trip around the universe
you do not carry a back pack
nor a bottle of water
to quench your thirst
and recharge your batteries
that is what you are made of...

your spirit is positive
your prayer is eternal
and your light shines forever...
