The stars like endless specks of dust scattered on the winds of time,
cry out for man to reach for them, so many years we've watched them shine.
and watched them move across the sky like fiery gods that learned to fly,
existing just for us to see, as though we're all that's meant to be.
But life must be the only way the universe can grow a mind.
For without life the universe would have no light and would be blind,
and have no voice to tell it's tale, no ears to hear it's endless wail.
Existence would be a mystery, still to be seen, still meant to be.
Yet life began on our small world adrift within an endless sea.
I can't believe that we exist alone among eternity.
And if there is another race that's close enough to us in space
who've mastered more technology then we'll soon meet them face to face.
History shows that often times the strong will overrun the weak
to gain the treasure that they need to take them to their social peak.
And chances are that one day aliens will be reality.
For in my darkest dreams I fear a greater race was meant to be.

A topic I like!
Well, dear Rick, I agree with your statement that we are meant to be a greater, wiser race ...

If there are others out there (and I am positive about that) they surely are higher on the scale of evolution, so this means they are also wiser and that could also be the reason for the fact that they postpone their coming, because ignorance of mankind could somehow harm them.

We need to awaken to love, evolve, invest in researches in all fields, instead of investing in war equipment and the like.

I am sure we are meant to be space travelers ... and peaceful ones!

Thank you for your reflections. Fear is our greatest enemy in realizing our potential ... of LOVE.
Love and peace.
Margherita

Hey radman~  You've written a beautiful mystery here.  
From whence we came takes on a whole new meaning.

I really love the way you write and the places your mind goes to.
