Life Outside Our Universe

Totally Alien Domains

What is known to be unknown is too far outside
What the mind can imagine yet properly name.
At a big disadvantage it seems that we are
Since we’ve not the ability to travel far
From our little young planet. We are put to shame
By the beings who study us not out of pride.

They practice social distancing to the degree
That they haven’t made contact in a normal way.
Our world leaders have told them we don’t want their kind
To be known because we are too chaos inclined.
We’re a warrior species. Be that as it may,
Before contact is made we must heal completely.

Many hundreds of thousands of craft have been seen
By vast numbers of people. The sightings are real.
Their antics are superior to all our best.
If it came down to warfare there’d be no contest.
We have nothing of value that they’d want to steal.
They would not socialize with us because we’re mean.

We can’t deal with our damned selves. How can we expect
Totally alien beings to cause us to
Sing and dance in exuberant jubilation?
They have figured out energy. We’d be undone
With this premature knowledge. We know this is true.
The crop circle is their ten foot poll, I suspect.

Momentum At Rest

The Motionlessness Apparent

An explosion in slow motion, as it takes place,
Is a consummate spectacle to human eyes.
As we place ourselves out there in body and mind,
We remain optimistic for what we may find.
Have we looked enough inward that we realize
What the nature of time is and how it makes space?

This star system created a vivified rock.
On the surface evolves a thin skin of smart moss.
It has leaped off the earth now to kiss the cosmos
Without asking indeed if it wants to get close.
If we stayed where we are, it would suffer no loss.
That, to many a human, may come as a shock.

Does it seem like it’s moving or standing quite still?
That pertains to our chaos as we find our way
On this Mother we’ve come to know as our birth place.
We exist through a larger will we can embrace.
There are ways to align self to live out each day.
When momentum is graceful, life can be a thrill.
