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.
