Transit

Time to
go.
Time is
short.
A new
home awaits.
The voyage 
will be long.
Very long.
Longer than
life.
Longer than
many many
lives.
No choice.
System failing,
star is failing.
Solar system 
failing.
No choice!
New home
the destination.
Saving the
species. 
No choice.
Arks set sail,
thousands set
sail on the cosmic 
limitless black.
Limitless 
 black void.
Millions 
set sail to
a distant 
new home.
Millions ensconced 
in a virtual place.
Living in
stasis.
Nestled in
an embracing
sarcophagus.
Living countless 
existences. 
Oblivious of
the journey.
Oblivious to
where they are.
Millions of years
to transit.
Time loses 
meaning in
the void.
Waking 
at destination 
seemingly 
moments to
transit.
Time means
nothing 
in the void!
Home!
