On The Universal Watch. . .
Glancing into the icy calm
of the darkened sky,
leaving little to the night’s magic,
is a knowledge from minds in action.
Saying little in languages understood,
it moves itself with intelligence,
looking for evidence bespeaking intent.
Always wary, ever beseeching,
reaching conclusions seeking
a desired peace with an enduring future.
Not only one world in motion with
an anxious search, but many
whose futures are determined by the
results of a whirling planet
whose emotions are in turmoil.
A learning place, a starting place,
whose tentative decisions determine
the futures of roles dependent on
the unbridled, unharnessed emotions
of childhood still groping.
Worlds looming as non entities,
not proven by the laboratories
of the science gods,
is life in other forms;
as intelligent, viable, thoughtful,
as intent on living within the realm
of their possibilities as we on Earth. . .
Searching as we do as gods for an enduring Peace.
