Planets Before Us

Like a scene from an old sci-fi flic Planers loom before our eyes Some with rings Some hot and red We know that we are but a small part of the universe But we still dare to raise our small flags bravely In the cosmic wind There are planets looming before us We watch and hope that their inhabitants are from an ancient civilization Far kinder than our own

Matt, some people can't belive that there could be other life forms in the universe, however, I know that nothing is impossible. I enjoyed this image filled poem! Blessings for the season, Always, Audrey

I do believe that more highly evolved life forms exist, Matthew, and are not a threat to us. Instead, they are probably wondering why we have war, poverty and crime. Very thought-provoking poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn
