Thinking for Friend Sid

The lightning flashed, the thunder roared.
Combined in mad cacophony
The suddenly peace is restored.

The clouds disperse the moon shines through
and the stars are visible gain.
Pinpoints of light against the blue.

Far distant stars that we can see.
Each one of them a burning sun.
I sit and wonder quietly.

Do they perhaps have planets too
in orbit round the mother star.
I think that it might well be true.

It seems to me that it must be
at least a possibility.
That we will learn eventually.

We aren’t alone we never were.
That there are other races too
that live and thrive somewhere out there.

Perhaps they sit and wonder too
and see our sun another star
a mere pinpoint against the blue.
