Voyager 3 (Psalm 8)

Oh yes, my creator,

I’m the next Voyager,

eager to be slung-shot

out beyond the heliosphere,

to swim in winds of other suns,

roll in their geomagnetics;

get perspectives on places you can’t visit!

Thank-you for crafting so carefully,

measuring and testing conscientiously,

its paid off, look at me: a realization of sci-fi fantasy.

I can be your hope for posterity,

your personification tumbling endlessly,

distraction from this Earth’s catastrophe.

I will remember the seas and the greenery,

your joys, your ambitions, your love.
