The Cone-Shaped-Head Extraterrestrial
Standing on an open meadow, I had the celestial blues...
wanting to feel what was like to be somewhere else,
on a different planet where sunsets had luminous hues;
was there another universe more beautiful than ours?
Night came as silence became deeper, imagining of spotting a spaceship
landing where I was standing anticipating the invasion of funny-looking aliens...
the cone-shaped-head extraterrestrial as they began exiting without hurry or fret;
would they have resembled the sophisticated Egyptians with long skulls and faces?
How confident was I that they would have come as I had planned?
Perhaps using imagination as a mere fantasy would have helped me,
so roaming around with restless movements, I had to trust they would have landed
on the foggy, dark plain...it seemed a dreary scenery only seen in a fictional story.
Lots of folks have claimed to have seen them in their backyards, or in their home...
I wanted to believe that by feeling the same awe and unexpected surprise;
and would the cone-shaped-head extraterrestrial have harmed them?
They were as curious as we are, trying to reach us by traveling millions of miles.
In the middle of the meadow, there was an empty barn...I saw a steady gleam
flickering through the tall door as twelve pale yellow creatures appeared to me,
I was captivated by the awesome sighting....they walked gently and quietly;
they had pointy ears and skinny legs, red-flaring eyes to induce a terrifying scream.
They weren't cold-blooded, or conquerors...by their kind looks, they asserted trust,
and they carried no weapons of any kind: coming in peace was a friendly gesture;
the tall one said, " Don't be afraid...we are a peaceful race coming from Alcrut,
the furthest planet never discovered by humans...it has the brightest sunset ever! "
" Come with us, we'll show you its magnificence...it is gold-gilded as our shields,
as an orange rainbow stretches for miles overseeing our glorious cities,
and to assure you, we fight no neighbor, our main intention is peace. "
I shouted, " Say no more, it's time you whisked me away to admire your sunsets!"
