A UFO In The Sky

A UFO in the Sky

Late one night, the stars stood still,

The air grew sharp, the world went chill.

A silver disk, with lights aglow,

Hovered silent, soft and slow.

It spun in whispers, not a sound,

Casting shadows on the ground.

A beam of light, both bright and thin,

Reached the earth and called within.

The trees bent low, as if to bow,

A secret shared, but no one knows how.

The night grew deep, the craft took flight,

Lost in the black, a speck of light.

Above the fields, above the stream

It danced through clouds like a dream

Its glow pulsed soft, then fierce, then dim,

As if the stars had recalled it in.

Who sits inside? What secrets do they keep?

Do they know we watch like little lost sheep

Do they wonder, as we do here,

What lies beyond their skies far and near

The air grew warm, the stars regained

Their timeless watch, in memories beam

But in the heart of those who spied,

A question burned they couldn’t hide.

For on that night, beneath the veil,

The universe gave us a fragile tale.

A short glimpse, a cosmic delight,

A story to tell tomorrow, of this night.
