When Skies of Cobalt Blue - Finale

Media frenzies gather pace
Camera's focused on our skies
The slightest move by these crafts
Always takes us by surprise

Nations are asking questions
As to why we face these crafts
Confusion meets their replies
For once they cannot draft

More than a week now has passed
Still they hover through the clouds
Daily life is not the same
Even thoughts are heard out loud

The world awoke one morning
For above these crafts already here
Floating cities in the sky
Perfectly round massive spheres

They must be here for a reason
For the crafts below now descend
Billions of people await transfixed
Is this the beginning of our end

The ship above the Piedras Negras
Now hovers over the Mayan Temple
Silver slide doors open to ajar
The waiting media stand so still

What we call a droid appears in view
It's as if climbing down the steps
Where many have walked to their death
To compensate their godly depth

At the relocated sacrifice alter
A cylinder it appears to leave
It now ascends the steps
What now are we led to believe

Upon the reaching of the cylinder
It opens before it's touched
A scroll is revealed inside
Now in the Governments clutch

The world is now in conference
For the scroll is about to be read
Billions await the news
Religious followers pray in dread

Our year is finally upon you
Many centuries you have had to comply
The warning was in our calender
No more time you have to defy

No sooner had their message been read
They had disappeared from our skies
Their threat, had it all been a warning
Do we humans cheer, or do we despise

The end of the year now approaches
Past events are still in our thoughts
2013 is just around the corner
Is this a lesson, we've just been taught

NASA reports that the shuttle Discovery
Has emerged from the dark side of the moon
Having being hidden from our past events
They are looking to come home real soon

Reports are coming in from Antarctica
The skies turning a deep cobalt blue
Above the Discovery witnesses
Five explosions in sporadic view

You have my interest and yes things are constantly changing in the universe. We are a small fragment in a big universe and anything is possible. Thank you for your comments on Mars and yes we have a few theories about this planet. One of your pictures sparked the imagination of what life on Mars could have looked like. love phyl
