Rick

My name is Rick

Rick the astronaut

At least

It was what I became

But, now, doesn't matter my name

But my mission

Yes, flying around the space

This is my confession

And I have one main goal

But result, for a while, I don't know

I'm looking for an adult female

And as far as I know

This is an one way mission

Because this person

Who traveled the universe

She did this same way

Some years ago

She hasn't come back yet

And I'm coming to rescue her

I only will be back...with her

My sister called Rose

Rose

Rose like the flower

Used to be very different than me

She was always very charming

Besides being very hopeful

I've always been more resentful

And in a state of alert, warning

She always had an inner power

I am intelligent, but afraid

But my sense of dangerous

Kept me on the ground

Just not now

But Rose, always, like a bird

She wished flying around

Around the atmosphere

She was first astronaut of our family

She would go and come back

To her family, her husband

And her kids

She is professional, but traveled to the wild

Space wild

But she, unfortunately, didn't come back

But I don't have child

Our parents are already dead

I quit my job at a Start-up

To go up

And to rescue my sister

I am afraid, I am scared

But I can't give up

The mission

Yes, I wasn't an astronaut

And I always respected my reason

But my heart is bleeding

I need to find my sister

And bring her to her children

I studied a lot

And I worked a lot

To get here

On this crazy mission

'Cause now I'm in the fog

In the middle of nowhere

My spaceship is too small

It was designed for a dog

And rebuilt for me

They didn't want to create a new and modern ship

They don't believe me

But now it doesn't matter at all

I can't fail

I am very smart

And I have a good nose

I know my goal is too hard

I don't care about dying

I'm flying, I'm flying

And I'm only going back until I find Rose

Nature is wise

Space is not what I thought it was

So there are many empty seats

Outside and inside the spacecraft

My inner child cries

But I have to fight

I was always afraid of accidents

Of car crashes

Of spaceship crashes

So when I knew that Rose's ship had hit an asteroid

I was very shocked

Very bothered

I thought about her family

And when I looked at them

They cried like children

After all, they really are still children

Or at least they were

They used to be kids

Because the time in space "runs differently"

Space has its own rules

No matter how much smart

We, humans, believe we are

In space we are more idiots than mules

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I like animals

I respect nature

But I know

Nature indomitable like life

If the human being pollutes or destroys

Nature revolts

Nature resists

Nature is wise

We should learn about it

'Cause nature is really wise

Rose's rescue

Now none of this is important

My focus is to find Rose

I know I'm close

I feel, I can feel

My mind, my knee, my nose

Over and over and over

I used to give up

But this is my misson

And my mission is more relevant

Than my personal issues

Rose need to be rescued

She is alone

For a while

But I'm coming, darling

I will find

'Cause I don't worry about time

I respect her life

Even more than mine

I've always been a lone wolf, a ghost

But not Rose

So I know I'll bring her to her family

And everyone will smile

Now I'm closer

Yes, yes

I can see her

I'll catch her

Unhurried

Now, now

I do not know how

But it worked

Rose is here with me

Back home

Rose, finally, is here with me

She is almost asleep

She looks like very weak

She needs a better meal

But I'm doing my best

I know only the time can heal her soul

And her mind

But for a while,

I know I can fill the role

I am the person who can help her body

Space food, new clothes

A tight hug

Tighter than this spaceship

In any way

Rose is not alone

Not again

I'm not alone

Not again

Now, some more chips for Rose

And she will finally meet her kids

That's a happy ending

The End
