Ticket 2 Ride

A thief of glorious moments

Stolen in plain sight

A songbird’s prey

Hardly a fair fight

—

I made it

What’s next?

After all this

My apex?

—

Atop the plateau

Spanning the horizon

Silence to infinity

Hello, sweet Orion

—

Reach for the stars

It’s your destiny

I did, I’m here

Where are the many?

—

Rarified, members only

The air is painfully thin

My shadow turns to me

Can’t we start again?

—

Skipping several grades

Taking the expressway

Moving up in line

Can’t have any delay

—

Seal the deal

Take gold

The engine purrs

The future just sold
