To gaze upon the horizon
where infinity hold sway
Looking upon the universe
as we look upon day
Traveling through star lanes
seeking other kindred souls
Tasting the cold of infinity
where humanity looks so small.
A cloud all made of gases
stretch light years on its side
A planet the size of a sun
where it too may hide
A comet on its leisurely way
searching for a place to be
The hungry eyes of Humanity
set upon an infinite sea.
Tantalizing search for intelligence
that dwells within our sky
Seeks in kind another
with whom to share the why
A hand put out in friendship
without the bigotry we store
So the future will shine upon our way
not closing the universal door.
I look upon the stars insight
to wonder where Man may be
Seeking something greater
a species destiny
Then the world seems smaller
in the light we take our stand
To be as friends in all the presence
that could travel the Universe as Man.
