The Future Awaits

Standing here,
at once in this moment,
beholding past and present in my mind,
I look towards the future.
Soon, a plane will rise and lift,
carrying me far away.
Anywhere I go,
there *I* am.

'Return to the center',
anywhere on the map,
I shall not lose the way.

Still, in the intersection
of stellar planets,
each in our own orbits,
what will we make?

The future awaits.
I am here.
Anywhere I go,
there *I* am.

Comments:
'Return to the Center' refers to a favorite meditation.

'Stellar planets' at first looks like a contradiction in terms, however, the 'stellar' takes the meaning as in m-w.com, 'outstanding'. Also, I am referring to Crowley's statement, "Every man and every woman is a star."
