A Warm Summer Night

A warm summer night In a starry sky No hint of a breeze to cool my face I’m taking the air walking through The road is straight heading to the coast A clear sky where you can count the stars The road is quiet and I can see no cars Then in the distance I see a light It must be a truck with bright lights As I continue walking the light becomes clear When all of a sudden it shot to the sky With green glowing lights it went very high The glowing green intensified As a beam of light shot from the bottom Of the craft as it slowly flew on I tried to hide on the side of the road As the light beam searched for me Then the light remained stationary above me Until as sudden as it had came on The light switched off And I couldn’t see the object in the sky I looked around and the ground seemed strange It was puzzling to me as to what had occurred When I looked at my watch it was two hours gone. © Paul Warren Poetry
