Movements of a Distant Sun
Movements of a Distant Sun
Far out in the cosmos
A cloud of gas
has become a sun
On earth we watch its movements
From our small planet
We consider the distant star
Have civilizations grown up there?
Have other voices lifted their voices in song?
Light - years separate us
From that distant system
What can we know of them?
Travelers on another sphere
What can we know of them?
And what do they know of us?
Are they peering out at our world
through the immense darkness?
What do they think of our creations?
Are they indifferent to them?
Are they content to be observed
and never casting an eye
upon our precarious home?
