Title:
A Stranger in a Strange Land
(A lone voice whispers)
I once walked like a yearning Robert A. Heinlein
A Stranger in a Strange Land
Into drifting clouds of blue smoke
In The Dangerous Off-Limits Zone
In the deserted Lands of Kem
That would make any mortal die or choke
In search of deep prose
Clutching my grandfather's old pen
Like a lone messenger from The Pulsars
Sent from so far
To find inspiration
To write a transcript of humanities development and extraterrestrial intervention
Stories of the Hopi
That linked the Lemurians to The Dogon and The Atlanteans
And then I met you
Sigma 8
My first contact from The Secret Circle of Nine
The true queen of all things between us
A shining star
From the very stately
Proxima Centauri
A Starchild once spoken of in The Lost Chapters of Enoch
The Shadow Walker between the Lost Moons of all Solar Systems
The bright thunderbolt of unspoken Gods
Who always were
A universal force worshipped in all secret underground kingdoms
If only they knew
Then you stole the centre of my aura
My heavenly bestowed light
That wonderful night
When you let me undress your body and soul
By taking off your sparkling diamond-encrusted tiara
So here I am again
Looking for you
My love
In these lost Lands of Kem
Walking the lonely desert Nexus Line
By the flowing fast twin on rivers of The Sacred Kolbrin
Waiting to see
If it's you
I see in the distance
While these primordial wild dogs before me
Stalking me
In the bushes
Scavenging for food
Pine
Praying inwardly
That the Universe once again brings me
You
Sigma 8
The Shadow Walker
From Alpha Centauri's
Triple star system
In the southern constellation of Centaurus
As these dark clouds whisper and rumble
Fere nostro tempore volvere est
(It's nearly our time to roll in)
