Loss

My instruments display to me that I am close,
Injecting myself with this one large final dose
Trying to acclimatise for where no one has gone
The Dark side where the sun has never shone

As the tiny capsule rotates and inverts yet again
One remembers all the training hardship and pain
The green light indicates the trajectory is now right
No humans left to celebrate this one fated final flight

The home planet we left is sadly finally now dead
This little craft was for the journey my home instead
But now it may finally land on this luminescent rock
All hope lies in the Ark sent before I pray it did dock

We killed off the Earth and all that ever existed there
A few survived long enough for their skills to share
Master plan Alpha was to build the vast Arks of hope
Skeleton crews caring for nature just enough to cope
