Discovering yourself in unexpected new circumstances is something like a hard landing on a distant planet……………

By ultraviolet airglow, I view deep space,

Orbital velocity thru the Milky Way,

Spinning on a quasar to keep up the pace,

My copilot’s name is Gamma Ray.

 

Kryptonite crumbles spill from my pocket,

I’m out of control, it’s a Big Bang crash,

Was rolling the game from my retrorocket.

Now it’s a free fall in a nano-flash.

 

In a period of revolution from a cosmic shock

Like a Super Nova burned to dust

My world exploded into jagged, flying rock

Have no geo-home or turbo thrust.

 

Falling………………….

Tumbling hard,

The galaxy demanded

That I go

Crashing through granite,

Make a hard, G-force landing

On a distant, alien planet.

 

My umbilical cord was cut and tossed

In the Black Hole, a very dark matter,

Red Dwarf laughs at all I’ve lost

Ambient wavelengths fade his chatter.

 

Eclipsed by the golden moon, I’m blind,

Lone meteor speeds the starry night

And crosses paths with asteroids but finds

It’s way on lone, forsaken flight.

 

The solar winds caress my face

Soft as the whisper of a baby’s sigh,

No air, no light, no sounded trace,

As quiet as the wings of a dragonfly.

 

This strange, new planet, full of quark

Now comforts me, just south of Mars,

Fly with the wind, and push back the dark,

No longer one of the binary stars.
