We made our way
On one night
Past the first day
At the sun’s last light
A starship descended
When darkness departed
The drugs ascended
There were stars
In the grip of children’s arms
Fire fell from the sky
Embers laid to rest
But did not die
Our armies did what they could
With lasers, against it they stood
There was a crash
A creature emerged
Inside a bubble
It hid – submerged
One, two, three, four!
Another crash
Louder than before
Smoke and mirrors is what it used
And when the shots shot back
They pointed back at you!
I saw what my eyes could take
Then I shut them
For my heart’s own sake
There was a whir
All the rest
Became a blur
The wind blew
And the rain felt cold
My flashlight went dim
The batteries were old
Guided by my wits and guile
I treaded down a moonlit mile
Toward my chamber palace
Where I could lay my thoughts to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep.
