Ring Of Fire By Paul Wilson Light the ring of fire Let it burn long and bright Heed calling of the flame Stars beckon me tonight I’ve seen tomorrows light From beyond the stars Light the ring of fire So we can explore the quasars Further and further we go Into the unknown we are drawn Searching for our beginning Before coming of the dawn What will we learn If we find another race Will they embrace us Show us their universe The stars light our pathway To what we are searching for Yesterday becomes tomorrow Is there anything more? Time stands still in the abyss Of our decaying world The need to move on Look for another world I’ve touched the ring of fire I’ve traveled beyond the stars I’ve seen distant worlds Venus, Jupiter and Mars What awaits us we’ll never know No end in sight on this distant flight Follow the ring of fire by day Follow the distant stars by night ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Well done, Paul. Even old geezers like our selves still dream, and ask "What if...". |

Of course from the Title I immediately thought of the song "Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash, & my fav. version by; 'Home-Free  ., but I soon found out it was a wonderfulcelestial journey on life by Poet Paul. Thanks for the good read.. Sky~ |

Definitely an interesting subject for a poem and very well done. I personally do not adhere to the idea of alien life, not least because science itself (physics) demands an immediate cessation of all such speculation. But it is always fun to think about "what if", and dream a little upon the stars. SG |

Paradox...Thanks for taking time to read and reply, I appreciate it. Not sure of what you mean by the following comment "science itself (physics) demands an immediate cessation of all such speculation " So if I am reading you right if it can't be explained by science it more than likely doesn't exist ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |
