[Poetry] I Am ... a Traveller

I am a traveller

I am a traveller
I wonder if I will see the universe
I hear it's pretty large
I see a star being born
I want to go and visit
I am a traveller

I pretend to go there in my dreams
I feel the distance closing
I touch the new born star
I worry that it will not last
I cry for its lost potential
I am a traveller

I understand that I was born too soon
I say that I don't mind
I dream that things were different
I try to imagine it
I hope someday I can go
I am a traveller
