Eclipse
A acrostic poem with dual meaning of eclipse and world with loss and thinking or reminiscing
Everything in sync, kept in beat like a metronome by my automaton toy, unseen for years
Clockwork motor powering the gears
Lacuna filled with the drumming, the pulse, making it easy to count the seconds while two spheres interfere
Imagining all the previous orbits, wondering if there's an end like the fate of the small drumming automaton, as seconds disappear
Placating the space, whilst appearing
Sun abandoned, briefly, in terms of time and years
Eclipsed only by the loss of the original winder, as all parts continue on to natural states and veneers

The Conceptual Planet: Into Outer Space-Micah's Story
Days blend and continue on undisturbed for the most part. There is a lot of waiting in between workouts and eating. There is one repair we are working on. Other than the repair it's all monitoring and stand by. Monotony feels more tirtiring than his workouts and work. Days ends come around and sleep is attempted. We all are adjusting and have interacted minimally so far. We seem humbled by our surroundings and task. Sutton is the crew member easiest to be around. Today passes uneventfully. Sleep comes after counting to around 89. Probably out of boredom and a desire to stop counting.

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.
