Life In An Observatory

Is there anyone out there?
Lonely people listen to an empty sky
Waiting and hoping
Straining tired ears just to hear a single noise
They suffer nightly disappointments
Static of an earthly design
They stare for endless hours
They share a million, million thoughts
But they all ask just one question
In all of forever
In all of where ever
Separated by a trillion miles
There has to be others
Living on a blue green ball
Wondering on a cool spring night
Is there anyone asking about us?

Yes, I do believe there are those who ask "about us," Robert. Very intriguing poem that delves deep into the human heart and spirit. Sorry it has taken me so long to read your novel, but I am enjoying what I've read so far. You have a lot of talent, Robert. Your poetry and your prose come from a gifted pen. Love, Carolyn
