Long Distance

At the far reaches of darkness
The limits where light does not reach
Now, too, alone
Continuing a solitary journey

On this disintigrating star
Hearts of steel
Informing us of this single parting-
Faster than light
It climbs upstream in the flow of time

A star was born
And, by and by, knew death;
And then, alone
A hand reaches out forever

Colder than despair
In the midst of deep darkness
A blue planet was born
And shed its light silently
Ah, I want to tell of this time!
Ah, I want to tell someone!
