She liked to visit different countries
She like to back pack and trek,
She loved the holds and mountains
Being one with nature was the best,
On this day she trekked in Peru,
Climbed up to a mountain top
To seek a better type of view,
But as she reach the top
The light was fading fast,
But at the summit it was flat
But before it got to dark,
She saw there was a giant lake
It made her mind quake,
As it shimmered like a beautiful mirror
She sat and decided to sleep the night here,
Though the cold air made her shiver.
As she slept, she had a strange dream
And noises sounded out strange though serene,
She opened up one wakeful eye
And could hardly believed what she spied
Lights were dancing overhead
Back and forth she thought to herself,
What could be happening it all seemed so fast
She wondered how much longer it would last,
Then from behind her she heard a noise
In a rock face a rock opened like a door,
There was the being shining in light and great poise,
Holding out it’s hand it seemed to implore
That she go with him and for some reason she did
How long have these beings been hid,
Following the being down a long ramp
She walked into a giant ship and her heart sang,
As smaller crafts flitted in and out
Beings worked like ants scurrying all about,
Doing work she could not comprehend
She looked to the alien being again,
He led her all around, they spoke in alien sounds
He offered her a flight in a craft,
Every aspect of the and their ship was created in art
And she wondered just how far,
They would take her for this ride
Next moments she found herself inside,
And out of the ship they flew among a host of lights
Into the galaxy and far beyond,
Several galaxies had come and gone
Yet she felt no pressure, in fact she felt so comfortable,
Returning though was inevitable,
But what she saw blew her mind
Planets everywhere and of various designs
She saw many different types of mankind,
Then back inside the ship they were
Leaving all behind in an instance of time,
She stepped outside wondering what was next
They offered her a chance for her to defect,
And trek and backpack among the stars
To travel the universe near and far,
She took their offer in an instance it’s true
The papers read about a backpacker lost in Peru,
And nobody ever knew, anything of the truth
But the locals they saw right through,
But to them this was nothing new
Because they traveled the same
They also flew the cosmic plains,
Blind to me and you,
The mysterious lake at the top of the mountain in Peru.
Nicely crafted. The year trought i read an old romantic german book called “Hermann von Ofterfingen” written bei Novalis. The topoi of landscape and journey in yours and his work create an natural but transcendent magic. For me coming out of journalism and poesy it puts some lite from the future to forms that will hopefully fit to express my inspirations more solid. So thank you for you very productive and inspiring works.
