...a tribute to:
all the astronauts, NASA Staff and others serving
the cause of scientific exploration... and equally, for
theorist, like Stephen Hawking, and all whose spirits
exemplify their intelligence and untiring effort.

Love your Spirit's life for adventure
Love your heart to brave the vast unknown
Love your bones with peaceful completeness
Love your Soul to know its own way Home

Let us leave the banks of the oceans
Let us leave the beaches of the sea
Let us leave the rains of the forest
Let us leave the shadows of the trees

Lure us to walk the green, grassy plains
Lure us to trek over desert sands
Lure us to wade the creeks of valleys
Lure us to swim the rivers undamed

Lead us through reeds of the marshy flats
Lead us to sprays of youthful fountains
Lead us up and down brown, rolling hills
Lead us o'er tops of rocky mountains

Lift us with colors of the rainbow
Lift us with music through storms wet lace
Lift us through atmospheres of silence
Lift us into the vacuums of space

Launch us on past stars and galaxies
Launch us through gaseous explosions
Launch us into the void of black holes
Launch us through whirlpools of implosion

Leaven us in linear 'X'-ation
Leaven beyond imagination
Leaven us through-out the universe
Leaven us with great expectation

Love your Spirit's life for adventure
Love your heart to brave the vast unknown
Love your bones with peaceful completeness
Love your Soul to know the 'Right' way Home
