An Astronaut’s Tale #1 – Lost in Space and Time

More about An Astronaut’s Tale #1 – Lost in Space and Time

My name is Captain John Fitzgerald and I’m lost

No rescue team is heading my way

Missing in Action, got my posthumous medal, Oh Yeah

A Space drifter, speeding where my spaceship takes me next

Here I am sitting in an elaborate, but rotten tin can

Adrift in space and time, floating so, so far away from Earth

Ground Control is a long lost feverish dream

As I’m looking out the window is not only the stars I perceive

I see the golden flower fields of my innocent childhood

Longing for decent air, a fresh breeze, a social interaction, anything real

In fact everything of what it means to be human

Without it, what am I?

A broken tin man in a curious tin can?

Drifting at 65.000 km/h through interstellar space

I’m riding the wave, going with the flow

Wherever destiny needs me to go
