What Is Out There?

The universe has many doors Ever open to swallow my thoughts And sometimes my dreams And send them to the other side Where the cosmic wind is quiet And the big bang has left no trail Only silence roams the night In search of echoes I looked outside my window And saw the stars in their billions Trapped in their eternal twinkle Drowning in the sea of darkness The sadness in their eyes Protruding from the night sky Their tears ever shining In the middle of the night My sad dream interrupted By the intruding noise The starlight above Exposed the dark edges Of an Unidentified Flying Object As it stealthily approached The unconscious conscious me Unable to scream My tongue tied by fear The remnants of my courage Unable to rescue me From this night crawler
