REFLECTIONS OF CHOICE
An allegory in the voice of my character Captain Arik Kestrel from my Starlight Galaxy Series: A Space Opera
FROM THE JOURNAL LOG:
STARSHIP CAPTAIN ARIK KESTREL
Starlight Galaxy
Sometimes a man has to choose
From bad, worse or horrendous.
Good or bad choices always bring change,
Just as change is not always a choice.
Every man must chart his own journey through the stars,
Whether by free-will or circumstance there is no turning back.
A progression through yawning maws of dark space,
That invades your fuel lines with every action.
Ambiguity is an unpredictable mask,
That can hide a man’s motives or shield his intentions.
With each hyperjump shaping his destiny,
Sub-light shifts in the soul reshaping the subconscious.
When star lines split,
Will the journey have been worth the expenditure?
Will the man at hard dock still be the same pilot,
That ventured into the unknown?
