The Next Stop
High upon the pink hilltops, one breeze above the red treetops,
stars punctured night sprinkling clouds with purple hue
which caused the falling gold moonbeams
to filter down in almond streams
and spray my eyes with beauty of an alien planet’s view.

There I was transfixed by majesty without conflict,
wrapped in a silence throbbing soundless at my ears,
whose symphony made the colors thunder
across my eyes to wake from slumber
the Awe that senses flood to wonder what Architect worked here.

Dawn gaped a yawning rippling pecan light thru morning.
A craft was approaching with a rumble and a roar.
Overhead, it passed a tree
turned and landed close to me.
As I stepped inside, the capsule shut closed and sealed its door.

Up! Up! It whisked me. Ground fell from my feet,
passing clouds that hovered in the upper atmosphere
which stood as guard and sentry
against all outlaw cosmic entry.
Then I walked the capsule’s gantry to the starship’s pilot chair.

Automatic did the buckles strap my chest and legs and knuckles.
Jaws tensed, preparing for an up and coming jolt
in a silence made long lasting
‘til I felt the rocket blasting
then I closed my eyes and took one breath, just before the bolt.

Straight to lightning warp-speed, thrown back in my seat,
control and throttle gauges blinked their lights upon my berth.
- Unzipped did I my flight suit.
-Unlatched my helmet’s visor too
to read what was my next stop…Yes! That planet they call Earth.
Are they civilized…………..……..yet?
