The Longings of a lonely Space Explorer

A space explorer's quick log.

The Longings of a lonely Space Explorer

Oh how i long for earth, hundreds of years have I roamed the stars all alone. I have seen many wonders unimaginable to one unlike me. I have seen fields of crystal flowers, rivers of fire, golden deserts,  oceans of silver, mountain of diamonds and islands of clouds. And yet none of these even compare to the beings I have met or animals I have observed. I have seen everything that ever entered the realm of human imagination from dragons to angels. I have seen many things that defy and logical thought or scientific law. Cities made of ice that never melts or a fortress nestled inside the belly of a volcano. And yet, through all these things I have only one longing. The embrace of another welcoming me back and listening to my many stories. Space the final frontier, infinitely vast; wonderfully full of unheard of marvels and yet infinitely empty. This is the report and complaint of an eternal wanderer doomed to forever explore the marvels of space alone.

Short and sweet :)
I like the imagery and the contradiction. islands of clouds. dragons to angels. "nestled inside the belly..." is well done.

Nice write :)

Being the nerd I am, this made me think of The Doctor, and I liked it. I could feel the emotions of excitement mixed with sadness so well. Awesomely penned.

Beautifully written! I love the images you present. The emotions are poignant, and the reader is connected to the narrator because loneliness is universal.

The loneliness of space. This a excellent write. I love the humanity of it, through all those wonders and experiences it never quite adds up to contact with others. 'I have seen many things that defy and logical thought or scientific law.' Not sure if you need the and. I will be checking out your other work. Top writting.

Nice and intriguing.Is it an opening to a story?

[Vinni]

This definitely has a somewhat unique perspective. Great description. I am wondering if it will develop into something more. Nice work!

This is a nice story with a good "hook" to open with and a strong closure in the final lines. Bravo! ~Sharon
