Sol's Twin

Sol’s Twin

A red stormy star
The sister of the star that provides life
In an orbit out of the solar system
It will return to do a galactic dance with the sun we know
Evil living in the cold of space
It will approach the planets burning them as it passes
Beautiful blue-green Earth floating as it had forever
Life being lived under a crystal blue sky
Children playing and laughing
Their parents watching TV to hear the latest news
A yellow star and a red star fight for a meager planet
A that moment God deserts the people of Earth
The red star passes close to the planet
The ground shakes, the water boils and everything dies
Then, as it was in the beginning there is no air, no water, no Earth
Everything is silent
Everything is gone except two stars passing each other
And that is the end

Dear Robert till that moment occcurs let us all dance, sing and BE ALIVE! That is all we have, so let us make the most of it! Such a well penned beautiful verse so descriptive!I see it all I understand but do not wish to see! ALIVE! That is all I desire till that dark ecliptic moment and the passing of those two beautiful stars!
