Close Encounters Of Another Kind

Drop your lashes

Muffle your ears

Open up your heart

Now drink in leisurely.....

The sprawling luminous turquoise canopy

with sparkling diamonds beneath

Each bantering wave bouncing

to meet the plunging yellow rays

Implacable frosty milky peaks

melting like butter

in that warm solar embrace

Seductive whispers of the wind

brushing against soft lush green mounds

The flight of the dynamic albatross

on its celestial migratory round

Defiance of a tiny oasis

amidst the imperial grandiose of the ruthless dersert

Flapping of joyous wings on a tree

making love to its sheeny velvety feathers

Passion of the raging tide

as it surges to mate with its lover

The silver orb in its crowning glory

equally tempestuous in this futile endeavour....

 

When juxtaposed with this magnificent cosmos

you could be dismissed in an eternal oblivion

Yet you are an entity, a presence most coveted

A universe itself residing in that Third Rock From The Sun
