Poem
Recently, I was chasing moonbeams in a dream
It's just a typical, whimsical childhood scheme
but this time a veil was lifted from my eyes
and what I saw had me gasping with sighs.

I felt chilled when I realized I was all alone
on some distant planet that wasn't my own.
There were rings and moons circling around
Could this be Saturn?  That would be profound!

The landscape here was far beyond Earth's realm
and I was feeling more than a little overwhelmed.
Then, I felt rather than saw something draw near.
I didn't sense danger, nor did I see anything to fear.

As an earthling, I questioned if other life existed
in the universe, but my thoughts were oddly twisted.
For I found that I was an alien and about to freeze,
Should I say, "Hello. Take me to your leader, please?"

I was greeted with a signal that I didn't understand
but offered what looked like a perfectly normal hand.
I was taken inside a colossal sized geodesic dome
where people moved around as if it was their home.

Humans! They looked peaceful and devoid of stress
compared to Earth, that I'd left in a terrible mess.
I was fed and given warm clothes before taken out
to learn what Saturn's rings are really all about.

The shimmering rings were kept glimmering like jewels
And when skated upon they became sensory tools. 
Saturnaliens, if that's a word... used the icy track here
to protect the planet from intruders near the atmosphere.

I gave it a go, but keeping my balance was a bit tricky
On thin edges of skate blades, I needed something sticky
but with a bit of help I got the hang of it and was relieved.
Round and round I skated on this Saturn I had conceived.

Skaters were performing jumps and spins within my sight.
There were no signs of animosity. Life was a pure delight.
Everyone interacted with humility. There were no kings.
I longed to live my life here and skate upon Saturn's rings.
