Can We Be The Only Race? Poem by Annette Aitken
Can We Be The Only Race?
Can We Be The Only Race?
Can we be the only race?
Is there something else in space
in this unknown universe
surely we are not alone.
Can we be the only race?
in the vastness of this empty space
or many worlds of awesome wonder
planets orb in a different colour.
Galaxies from near and far
mingling within the brightly stars
dashing through the milky way
Could this be the place they play?
I often watch the sky at night
to catch a glimpse or maybe sight
something floating in the sky
spy odd shapes go whizzing by.
Is it fact or myth we hear
celestial bodies did appear.
hyped up stories in the papers
Do we believe the words of others?
I do not think we'll ever know
unless they crudely knock our door
to let us know from outer space.
No, you are not they only race.
To stand on this tiny crumb of sand and gaze into the vastness of the universe. You ask the questions that well up in anyone's heart who peers into the depths of the night sky and feels a shiver of loneliness. Love the jaunty pace and colorful visuals. Lovely work, Annette. and perhaps we will one day see the angels who fill the sky with their dancing and realize we were never alone.... :)
Dimensions, doors, questions within questions within questions. Design stands as a witness which reguardless of countless interpretations cannot be denied, peering into space we see an endless void filled with matter, what we used to think were stars we found to be galaxies, trillions and there just seems to be more and more and more. A great poem demanding questions of balance to be answered.
There are other spirits out there! ! Surely are not alone. However, We are the kind called 'Human Beings. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
