Movements of a Distant Sun
Far out in the
cosmos
A cloud of gas
Has become a sun
On earth we watch it's movements
We consider the
distant star
Have civilizations
grown up there
Have other voices lifted
in song?
From that distant
system
What can we know
of them?
Travelers on another
Sphere
And what can we know of them?
Are they peering out at our world?
Through the immense darkness
What do they think of our creations?
Or are they indifferent?
Content to be observed
And never casting an eye
Upon the sphere we call home
