Elven Astronaut

Flying from the Middle Ages
        to the 21st Century
An astronaut 
    passes through amber clouds
         on his way here
Leaving behind ancient 
                          ceremonies
  He strives to capture 
the new found sensations
   which have touched all of us 
        in this the "computer age"
Leaping across this blue earth 
    he tastes the reality 
we've all learned to live with 
       Dancing on thin ice 
He becomes one 
with the asphalt homeland
    you'll know him 
         when you see him 
     He is respendent 
          in a silver uniform 
covered with flecks of gold 
which reflect the light 
  from our source of life 
      the brillant star 
we call the SUN
