These Worlds I Do Ponder

I sit in silence absorbing a star-salted sky, My warm breath visible in the cold. I reach down to touch the soft earth, Forever humbled by its life-sustaining gifts.

I look up to resume my patient search For what were once called wandering stars. Brothers and sisters to our very own earth. Obscured by time and the vastness of space.

Orbiting giants set far apart, dancing a repetitive dance. Spinning while spiraling in a spiraling galaxy. Each world accompanied by adornments unique. Painted in elemental colors, and yearning to connect.

But disciplined they remain in the realm of their sun. Gravity, their rules for social distance. Living an unspoken command to see but never to embrace. No chance for warmth, only isolation in the cold.

Is this separation to hide the knowledge Of the history of themselves, and the future of us? Maybe we were born to bridge this gap. Earth’s plan for us to bring its family closer.

If only one day we might travel there, To fulfill the reunion and bring our system joy. I hear the siblings call to us for the wonders we might behold, And the stories they might share — these worlds I do ponder.

Here is the YouTube video I made for this poem. Please enjoy.

I understand that a longing for space travel is not something everyone experiences. For some, it’s an internal conflict — the practicality of here and now versus the possibility of then and there. This is for those who dream of wonders yet discovered, of possibilities yet achieved.

Here is the short film, “Wanderers” by Swedish digital artist, Erik Wernquist, set to the recorded words of American scientist and author, Carl Sagan. It is full of hope and possibility. Please enjoy.
