A Little More Light from the Stars

There, under the soft luminescence of the Milky Way,

I wondered what the coming days would bring.

With this thought, I saw two stars detach from the night

just above the darkened skyline. Shining magnifi cently,

these two silent UFOs shot forward from the distance

speeding directly towards me. I stood up out of my chair

as they stopped very close, just above the veranda and I

then watched them make a sudden shift of direction as they

hurled themselves upwards into the sky.
