[Luis Gonzalez]

Unity in Flight

all alone I learned to fly
but flight held no true meaning
disoriented my soul wandered among
worlds of neither time nor space
i yearned to glimpse them
but my soul was ignorant and earth-bound
i was dying within a mortal vessel
with wings unfurled
you took my hand
we two became as one
unfettered souls
we knew infinite time and space
and we explored the stars
gazing into
our universal self
united in our ecstasy
my mortal vessel perished
i realized harmony
and was unafraid
then at last we drifted back
i heard you call my name
together we had broken the barriers
of variable time and space
and found our flight's true meaning love is the universal truth
and our love will never change

This is dervived from the Dragonlance Solamnic Knights Prayer but hope you like it. Sounded like a good eulogy for Astronauts.

Return these men to the Lord's breast
Beyond the wild, impartial skies;
Grant to them a warrior's rest
And set the last spark of his eyes
Free from the smothering clouds of war
Upon the torches of the stars.
Let the last surge of his breath
Take refuge in the cradling air
Above the dreams of ravens where
Only the hawk remembers death.
Then let his shade to the Lord rise
Beyond the wild, impartial skies.
