Movements of a Distant Sun

Far out in the
cosmos
A cloud of gas 
Has become a sun
On earth we watch it's movements
We consider the
distant star
Have civilizations 
grown up there
Have other voices lifted 
in song?
From that distant 
system
What can we know 
of them?
Travelers on another 
Sphere
And what can we know of them?
Are they peering out at our world?
Through the immense darkness
What do they think of our creations?
Or are they indifferent?
Content to be observed
And never casting an eye
Upon the sphere we call home
