Our New House

Our new house is not the earth, 
No, it’s much bigger than that,
Our home is our galaxy,
This allows the earth to be protected,

Our house, is a big house,
Too big to be visited overnight,
Too big for our knowledge,
But we’ll probably explore it,

Our home is our galaxy, the Milky Way,
That protects us from invasions, icy winters,
That protects us from wars, empires,
This galaxy has its own time,
She’s been hiding us for billions of years.

Why it's a new house ? It's the prime shelter of all of us. Welcome to Poetry soup. Blessings

I do agree, Yann. Very nice penning. Love your deep message, which I hope one day protect us from all the misseries on Earth. Well done, my friend. Have a lovely weekend!

Yes, our home is not so small but much bigger. In a way the entire universe is our home and each one us is part of it. Beautiful poem, Yaan !

We can only stay hidden for so long before someone comes knocking. I often wonder if the first contact from another world will be a friend or an enemy.

It seems that the universe and the galaxies of such have grown smaller since I was a child because we are exposed to so much today. Thanks for sharing your ideas in this one. I enjoyed reading it. Your visit to my page added a different dimension to my work. Sara
