Abducted But Smiling

The sun sets over an alabaster hill of elements to me unknown
Adrenalin still pumping from the thrill of the alien spacecraft in which I’ve flown
Abducted from the earth several months ago
Wondering if anyone is still looking for me
Hiking alone in the wilderness
My disappearance is probably a mystery

The horizon has a purple haze, though this air I easily breathe
I am not sure if they are the same sun rays that warm the earth we did leave

Three moons appear in the darkening sky as the sun bids her final adieu
Strange creatures above me start to fly; several planets come in to view

And now the purpose for my abduction
Is made very plain to me
They need me for more reproduction
Their males have lost the ability

Sunsets on this planet are different from those on earth
But if romance is what the aliens want …
I’ll give them all I’m worth
