Voyager
Nurtured by nature in a quiet corner
Left alone to reach potential
Quest for adventure is an ingrained trait
Gift or curse of sentience
Little explorer as an ambassador
Perhaps will be the only evidence left
Civilisation that has reached outward
Looking back on the pale blue .... dot
How long will we have to wait to know?
To discover whether we are alone
Drake's equation inspired a message
A Voyager will carry those hopes
The farthest flung object of mankind from home
A mariner in an endless ocean
The grand tour is only just beginning
and may herald the greatest moment ....of all time
A collective outlook
This piece of metal, immortal, floating in heaven
Without understanding, existence is for naught
Observance is a purpose in itself
How long will we have to wait to know?
To discover whether we are alone
Drake's equation inspired a message
A traveler carries those hopes
Termination shock, heliosphere
Outside the zone of the solar wind
The space probe Voyager
The spirit of man
