I am but alone, on a world so far from home Scouting out there somewhere, deliberation is my roam Territories I now enter, the unknown to us mankind To learn we have to enter, then knowing is what we find I exit from where I landed, a so different world from earth A view I see astounds me that it beggars belief it's worth Rippled oceans in reflect from it's heavens of colours great Cobalt statues in shadow stand so proud and straight Above I see the stars, so much closer to home than they are Planets that reflect our sun, a reverse sunset now stares To my left an electrical storm, forking into it's abyss Then clouds that quickly seemed, now gone as if in wish To sit here where I sit, where possibly no one has sat before Witnessing sights we assume never seen, one can only but adore What highlights it for me, is when our sun arises as it has done Is this where I plant a beacon, to allow a new colony to run

Love this sci-fi look at what it would be to stand upon the sun setting from another point of view. Well done, James!!
