I love this planet
but sometimes feel like an alien
watching the grand finale
It was just one of those splendid days, which held no excitement;
Moreover it required none, for in its stillness, I was content.
Lying on the forest green grass, luxurious blue skies in my eyes,
Summer winds brought me nature's music, and I needed no surprise.
I found fun shapes in the clouds, and now and then I dozed off,
In a sunny, blooming meadow, watching the birds land and takeoff.
In the middle of the feverish day, just after my picnic lunch,

As eyes are ever drawn to a flaming sunset, as to colorful, outdoor bazaars.
And stargazing brought big excitement, and chills during many a nighttime,
Like the thrills of the returned birds singing, in the springtime days of lime.
Many busy years, I had been chasing my dream, and reaching for the stars,
As rush hour traffic chases moonlight, in those many colored, lustrous cars.
Mine was happy work and fascinating, a vivid fascination that was catching,
