Life On Mars

Life On Mars Horizons on the red planet rise To the thinning skies powdery pink Smoke like, ghost like creatures, pillars of sand Lifted ever up in the cool swirl Martian winds Nearly airless as they come to life Cyclonic Cyclopes dust devils arrive Grain like monster machines take shape Terrorizing the silent planet’s sleep Mars on the rise only wants to keep the peace To watch the distant sun go by Cliffs on the other hand, sit perched for centuries Hold their own in shadow and in light Observe the show below, delighted Desert planes with ghostly pillars Made of sand, married with the timid wind Came to life upon those seas Dancers on the lonely planet land To act for audiences who did not show Then lifting over rocks and mounds Life on Mars moves on to other spots For more performances
