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
