I dream of the heavens

I dream of the heavens, the dancing lights and ebbing tides of darkness between them. I dream that the vast distances can be overcome and that human beings will seek new places to colonize and call home. I dream of Mars, the red planet so like our own, its polar caps giving us a source of water to sustain life with. I dream of Europa, its global salty ocean melting away and terraforming for us a breathable atmosphere. I dream the mankind can reach out into the heavens and leave earths hold behind to find a peaceful existence beyond hatred and greed. I dream of life among the stars far from materialism and social conformity.

I dream the same dream that man has dreamed from his earliest memories. And as our minds take us deeper into science and understanding the impossible, we seek life on other worlds with the hope that our dreams might become possible.

On earth mankind is determined to destroy the home we've abused and neglected, we have ways to turn global destruction around, but man is too greedy to turn for self-mutilation. I feel it may be too late, that the Messiah will return and this earth will pass away inevitably. But if there is time, and if we keep dreaming, I believe there are other worlds for me to dream of and the faint hope of new places to call home
