Invasion From the Stars
Once i stood at the peak of mount
seleya
Observing the red sun and dry winds
of the Vulcan homeworld
Surveying the vast desert land in a
cloud of dust
Silently wishing in my heart that it
would rain
That the dry winds of the north would
cease
And usher in a few minutes of the rain
Suddenly a tremor hit me hard
It was so hard that i could barely stand
At first i thought it was an invisible
force
But then, i realised it was an invasion
Droplets of rain from the southern
hemisphere
Came riding on horses like a calvary
First as a drizzle with a gentle breeze
Then it became so cold and chilly
That the spatering rain froze to sleet
I thought that it might snow
Alas! it was too cold to snow
The lands hunkered in the freezing
darkness
I strayed into some caves to pass the
night
Earnestly anticipating an end to the
storm
Scarcely prepared to survive till
morning
But this time,morning may never
come
As the invasion lasted long into the
night
It kept me stranded in some rocky
caves
Then stopped abruptly as it had
began
I was thanking my stars
Only for it to return with a thousand
legions of soldiers
It was an invasion like no other
The waves increased in amplitude
The rain increased in intensity
Huge drops hit with perceptible force
Like stone pebbles on a corrugated
roof
All of a sudden i was back on Mt
seleya
Staring wide into the dry and dusty
desert
Wondering where it had rained
Then i realised it all happen in my
imagination
It was an impossible wish come true
Just when i thought i had seen it all
Slowly it faded unrecoverable
As the faint memory of a dream
First it was an invasion from the stars
At the end, it became a vision
A dream of the stars.
