Tea
I lay in orange grass
watching our sister planet Tiux rise above the horizon, its icy ring system
glowing pale pink. Our twin moons high in the sky, one full the other a
crescent; their glow ethereal through a veil of cloud.
The combination of the three always spellbinding, however, tonight my
attention is drawn further afield – beyond our solar system and into the depths
of the cosmos.
I lay here and wonder if we are alone in this universe or is someone,
somewhere, out there looking up at the stars and asking that same question?
Surely there must be?
