I absolutely love science fiction shows like "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Doctor Who" and "The Irresponsible Captain Tylor." Shows about a future filled with space exploration makes me feel like there is a greater purpose beyond our own. Science fiction provides us with potential hope, but hope can sometimes be an evil thing as well. I know I will never be able to explore the stars like Han Solo, Captain Kirk, the Doctor, Captain Mercer or Captain Tylor.

Amber stars that explode

with such riveting beauty.

A kaleidoscope of hope

and wonder immersed in

the darkness of space.

Infinite worlds that are

yet to be discovered

habitating beings humans

couldn't even begin

to ponder.

A deep and everlasting

journey awaits

beyond our stratosphere.

The future is waiting to

birth explorers,

who will set off on

Scientific Crusades

in the name of our

United Earth.

I can dream all I want,

but in the end,

that will never be me.
