Spaceman

He was a spaceman not a man He came from the sky one night The day is remembered in history It was like the arrival of an Arabian king Or when Cleopatra arrived to meet Caesar The word of the arrival tickled the ear Of all that were near and far They were all surprised by his unexpected turn Surprised that the celestial forces moved Even the mountains where in awe of his procession Even more stunned by the form he bore Not the spaceman that we have seen Sculpted on stones and constellations. He was a spaceman not a man He came from the sky to Show us things never imagined Moonstones and star dust we never Knew that we could touch Kings and queens wanted his concert Far and wide he was well known Many did love him, some feared him too Never such a man was seen on earth Who had the mystery of the above in his eye And the enchantment of millenniums in his hands Returned back to space when time was ripe His mission complete and work done.
