Wandering thoughts

Wandering thoughts

 

Pale blue deepens to indigo.

Night is descending peacefully

 On cue the stars begin to show

 far distant lights that brightly glow.

 

 Some twinkle, some shine steadily

which I accept quite readily.

 Some things I’m not allowed to know.

 Beyond my capability

 

 to understand so I don’t try.

Although I sometimes wonder why

some stars appear to twinkle so.

As if to try and catch my eye

 

If this is so then they succeed

in capturing my interest

 with signals that I cannot read

Although I do my very best.

 

 I’m certain that we’re are not alone,

 though others may think otherwise.

 That somewhere in he great unknown

 some other beings watch the skies.

 

In wonder as they contemplate

 the vastness of the universe.

The twinkling stars which fascinate.

may be attempting to converse.

 

Across light years of empty space

to end their isolation.

Make contact with another race

This is a thought I dwell upon.

 

 A foolish dream it may well be.

At least it occupies my mind

I sit in thoughtful reverie

 and leave my worries all behind.

 

I watch the darkening of the sky

 which indicates that day is done.

The hours of twilight quickly fly

they linger briefly then are gone.

 

Although the laws of gravity

attempt to dictate boundaries.

Imagination sets me free

 to wander where and how I please.

You bring up some valid theories and thoughts in your special poem. Who knows? I could be writing you from another planet right now. Florida has been known to resemble another planet, I'd say.
Your poem speaks of the lovely star gazing and of those beyond the stars perhaps. What a treasure this is and so very well written and composed!
