1st Contact

 video

 accelerating, moving faster
escaping quickly from disaster
into the unknown far away,
the planets of Centaurus A

Proxima fading out of sight
faster than the speed of light,
an unexpected red star nova,
faster faster in a rover

designed for a trip to Earth
moving now for all its worth
through the plasma in between
where we go and where we've been

days slip by as we come nearer
all the scans becoming clearer
a water world, it's blue and white
a beautiful and welcome sight

civilization 3.3
seems to thrive there blissfully
unaware that we're arriving,
first contact made as we are diving

into their atmosphere
accompanied by aircraft near
as we find a spot to land
by an ocean on the sand...

Darkness Disappearing

 video

 darkness disappears as light
twinkles in the sky at night
from so very far away
starlight falls on us each day

the Moon reflects the Sun's light too
bouncing off both me and you
stirring tidal feelings where
we are breathing living air...

in our minds and in our hearts
through the endings and the starts
of each moment flowing by
light is life, the reason why

in creation light comes first
bringing warmth and quenching thirst
with liquid water's flowing streams
light is much more than it seems...

we are clouds where atoms spin
penetrating light's within
energizing as we breathe
we are light when each we leave
