Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Love Among the Stars

When we look above at the nighttime sky
We are filled with this great mystique
With the untold number of heavenly bodies
So foolish to think we're unique

If I was a gambler which I certainly am not
Could now be a very rich man
Betting on the existence of other life forms
In this heavenly scale so grand

Certainly I'm not all alone in my thinking
Many have thought this before
So to all of us bright minded individuals
The odds just can't be ignored

Unfortunately my time will end long before
A meeting with beings we call aliens
Most fantastic event in the annuls of mankind
To finally discover other civilizations

When we look above at the nighttime sky
We are filled with this great mystique
To think that one day we will finally meet them
And discover we're not so unique

Dr. Upma A. Sharma May 24, 2015 at 3:08 AM Wonderful Jack! Of course unfolded mysteries! But no one can return back to tell! Jack Ellison May 24, 2015 at 6:05 AM Don't think I'd want to... how about you? Have a super Sunday my dear Upma! Love, Jack xxx

Laura Breidenthal May 23, 2015 at 8:36 PM Absolutely beautiful quatrain, Jack!!! The universe is full of mystery and majesty. Surely there's a possibility of other life forms out there, similar to us perhaps, or even more intelligent. I really enjoyed reading this one today. Great job!!! Always, Laura Jack Ellison May 23, 2015 at 8:45 PM Who knows, maybe you're here from a distant civilization sent to love me and prove real true love does still exist! I can't believe your sweetness! Love you sweet alien, Jack xxx

Carol Eastman May 23, 2015 at 12:26 PM Dragon wants to fly up to met you. His eyes are full of stars! He got a Dancing With The Stars Trophy. I wrote about it in 'The Cape'. He'll come from the sky and is an alien to Canada. If the border patrol gets a look at his sparkiy fire, he'll have to be an illegal alien, too. No Doubt! Yep He thinks he fits the bill perfectly! I'd say to just go the flow. Dragon logic is unflappable, to him! Oh! And he's easily classified under the catagory of other life forms, by all who meet him...LOL. Jack Ellison May 23, 2015 at 2:40 PM My belief is that we, in our infinitesimal world, are only one in an infinite number of life forms! Will we ever know for sure??? xxx
