--THE DESTINY OF MAN--

THE DESTINY OF MAN

It is the destiny of man to move forward,

doing the things he cannot do,

accomplishing the tasks that could not be done,

reaching farther than anyone would imagine.

~

Birthed under a star,

he cannot rest until he is among them,

reaching them, touching them,

feeling the power of the Universe.

~

He will ride comets across the sky,

and rest himself among the moons.

~

His whole being is a desire to know,

and only the answers

to the ultimate questions,

will ever satisfy him.

~

Only touching unknown shores,

will his soul be fulfilled.

Time will pass and bend to his will.

No power known can stop him,

~

for his forehead is touched with fire,

fire from within,

a surging force,

a power so intense;

it alone will carry him to the stars.
