When you get there you forget
What you came for and must
Go back retracing your steps
And half-way there recalling
What it was and turning back
You were almost there the first time
All this only took seventy years
Until you noticed you'd been
Doing this your whole life
Either retrograde or direct
Long since you became a star
Harnessed to your orbit
Shepherding the space around you
The light you went back to seek
