Rider in the Void

I float silently through the void of deep space
enclosed in a pod that protects me from interstellar radiation

A lifeless state of suspended animation but aware & dreaming

In my timeless years I have created countless languages only I know
I have solved equations so vast it would takes years to explain one

I have pondered concepts so complex entire planet bound species
have spanned their whole evolution and died before my synopsis

I have been scanned by countless passing starcrafts
who apparently felt it was best if I remained untouched

I know neither my origin nor destination
Eons of isolation have allowed infinite practiced greetings
in the case of landfall among intelligent life forms

I have mastered my physical form within my traveling pod
to alter my appearance down to a molecular level
I am the quintessential adaptoid

I am not aware of if I am a lone representative of my race
or if countless others drift the vacuum sea around me

Perhaps my destiny is to never emerge
I may someday be pulled in by the gravity of a sun, existence wasted

If you are deciphering this than I have passed close to your planet
my mental broadcasts received as I continued by

Search the skies! Come find me!
I promise not to subjugate your highest lifeforms
and rule your society with my superior mind and body!
