Starfield:Forever Among Stars

[A book of poetry with contributions written by various people who once lived on board the ECS Constant.]

Dots

Endless black.

Points of light.

Our home becomes smaller, ever smaller

Against the vast tapestry of the infinite

A home I will never know

Grows as we approach.

-Alaexis Shannon Samuels

Same And Different

Every night I sleep in the same bed

In the same room

Of the same spaceship

In different space

Under the light of different stars

Ever towards a different homeworld

-Daveed Ortiz

Ill-fated

Earth is doomed, but we persist

The future depends on our sacrifice

It's not easy

It never is

We are the ancestors of the new human race

Forging forward where others daren't tread

They mocked our perseverance

As they often do

They said we were insane

But whose history books will they read

When the light no longer shines on Earth?

-Hoy Darany

Untitled Limerick

A foul-mouthed old lass liked to curse

Her husband, he was quite adverse

She said he had gall

And punched at a wall

He had to admit that was worse

-Unknown
