What evil are they up to
with those silent lights 
blinking blinking blinking
red blue green orange silver
vanishing into nothing as suddenly
as they appeared,
leaving me to question 
how demented am I?

Perhaps it isn't evil they intend,
perhaps it's simple acknowledgment;
in a vast universe they and we
are not the only intelligences
looking up or looking down,
though connection cannot be made
in either realm.

My dreams have turned
to otherworlds,
otherworlds I don't understand
and which remain, for now, unknowable.

The poem leaves the reader with a lingering sense of curiosity and a touch of existential reflection. The ambiguity surrounding the silent lights and the narrator's dreams fosters an atmosphere of wonder and contemplation, encouraging readers to reflect on the mysteries that may lie beyond our immediate understanding.. It effectively engages with the theme of the unknown, leaving the reader with a sense of intrigue and thoughtful reflection..
