ASTRONOMICAL BEINGS
Astronauts on an assignment.
Temporary, our confinement
In a rocketship of travel...
Above the earth to unravel
Planets out of their alignment.
Our past of conquering the moon...
My crew and I in our platoon.
With craters full of cavity
Amidst its zero gravity,
We returned home without maroon.
Within this endless field of stars...
Now, we bypass neighbouring Mars.
In the future - sometime, someday...
Sustainment of life in some way.
Visions as such - like flying cars.
Space missions, our occupation...
Solar system exploration.
Discovered - we are not alone
Inside this universe unknown...
We humans in our location.
As if the spheres within their spheres,
Uniqueness seperate from my peers.
Final frontiers, science fictions.
Outrageous in their depictions...
Impossible thoughts and their ideas.
Using my imagination...
Other worlds of fascination.
Presence of another being.
Fornication, I am seeing...
Fantasising procreation.
Soon extinct, the population...
Our connection - this salvation.
Movement within our set orbit.
Our extraction - we absorb it...
One such random situation.
Then, reality sinks back in...
And of my thoughts, a humble grin.
I wonder - endless, dark and cold...
The universe - what does it hold?
Comprehension cannot begin.
