THE GALAXIES OF TIME
Prizewinner, UFP Convention, Birmingham, May 1986
Jim stands beside me In companionable silence As we gaze, together, towards infinity On the starship's darkened observation deck. No words are spoken None are necessary As we stand alone, yet not alone, with our thoughts. I feel from him A sense of wonderment and joy At the simple fact That I am here, beside him, now; And I also feel His deep grief at the price he had to pay For my continued existence. We have cheated death yet again And for that we must rejoice.
There is much still to do - together. There will be time For happiness, human joy and laughter Which we shall share. There will be time For us to race again in a silver starship Across the galaxies of time, Beyond Infinity. And after we gaze together in awed appreciation At the beauty of the Universe, We regard each other in silent communion, Eyes filled with the pleasure of each other's company, Hearts filled with the joy of being, Minds filled with the knowledge that, For us, There will still be Time.
