Have you ever seen a UFO
And doubted what you've seen,
And rubbed your eyes in disbelief
And thought it all a dream?

Well, you are not alone my friend,
For I have seen one too,
A silvery disc all aglow
With yellow, green and blue.

For half an hour I watched its flight,
As it streaked the midnight sky,
Up and down, and back and forth,
As no earthly craft could fly.

I thought of all the worlds,
Beyond our planet Earth,
That maybe life exists elsewhere,
Far from my place of birth.

That fateful night has changed my life,
And opened up my eyes,
To all the possibilities,
In the endless skies.

Indeed... Every star in the sky is another sun - How absurd that we could think that ours is the only one to support life.  The possibilities are endless, aren't they?  I enjoyed this piece muchly..

Linda this was excellent in thought and presentation.  Of course, we can not think we can be the only ones in this big wide universe...let's just hope they are all friendly!!   Well done.

Nan---You are so right! Trillions and trillions of suns out there---just like our sun. The possibilities are endless. I didn't know how this poem would be received, but just knowing that one other person identifies with it, pleases me greatly. Thank you!

I too have seen things...not sure just what..
But I do believe we are most likely not the only ones in the solar system.
Wonderful write...
Enjoyed much this warm late summer morn.

I've taken pills-some blue some gold,
Some made me "nod" some made me "go"
I've taken things grown from mold,
That took me on trips on U.F.O's

I got some mushrooms from this fella,
I know now they're not Portobellas,
So on those spaceships I've been ridin'
One I recall, a Klingon psilocyben.

And doubted what you've seen,
And rubbed your eyes in disbelief
And thought it all a dream?

Mr. T.---"all true" you say?!? I know why you say that. It's because you really know it's true. You are a shining star so you know whereof you speak!

(smiles) Oh Linda, I truly believe toothat we are not alone in the universe, for just like Jodie Foster said in the movie Contact, if there was nothing else out there, it would all be a waste of space! (kiss on cheek) Keep watching the skies, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah---I loved your reply---and I loved that movie, "Contact". I believe Carl Sagan died before the movie was completed---what a shame!

The line you quoted from that movie was absolutely perfect!
