When Skies of Cobalt Blue - Finale

Media frenzies gather pace Camera's focused on our skies The slightest move by these crafts Always takes us by surprise Nations are asking questions As to why we face these crafts Confusion meets their replies For once they cannot draft More than a week now has passed Still they hover through the clouds Daily life is not the same Even thoughts are heard out loud The world awoke one morning For above these crafts already here Floating cities in the sky Perfectly round massive spheres They must be here for a reason For the crafts below now descend Billions of people await transfixed Is this the beginning of our end The ship above the Piedras Negras Now hovers over the Mayan Temple Silver slide doors open to ajar The waiting media stand so still What we call a droid appears in view It's as if climbing down the steps Where many have walked to their death To compensate their godly depth At the relocated sacrifice alter A cylinder it appears to leave It now ascends the steps What now are we led to believe Upon the reaching of the cylinder It opens before it's touched A scroll is revealed inside Now in the Governments clutch The world is now in conference For the scroll is about to be read Billions await the news Religious followers pray in dread Our year is finally upon you Many centuries you have had to comply The warning was in our calender No more time you have to defy No sooner had their message been read They had disappeared from our skies Their threat, had it all been a warning Do we humans cheer, or do we despise The end of the year now approaches Past events are still in our thoughts 2013 is just around the corner Is this a lesson, we've just been taught NASA reports that the shuttle Discovery Has emerged from the dark side of the moon Having being hidden from our past events They are looking to come home real soon Reports are coming in from Antarctica The skies turning a deep cobalt blue Above the Discovery witnesses Five explosions in sporadic view http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-18.php

You have my interest and yes things are constantly changing in the universe. We are a small fragment in a big universe and anything is possible. Thank you for your comments on Mars and yes we have a few theories about this planet. One of your pictures sparked the imagination of what life on Mars could have looked like. love phyl
