First Contact: The Universal Gesture of Hand and Heart

In a vast expanse of cosmic sea,

An alien visits, curiously.

To this visitor, so new and rare,

I ponder what first gift to share.

🤝

Not our cities, grand and tall,

Nor our music, that soulful call.

Before the wonders, big or slight,

There's one thing to show, oh so right.

🤝

A handshake, a gesture, simple and neat,

Where two different beings can peacefully meet.

It speaks of trust, goodwill, and grace,

No words needed, just face to face.

🤝

For before we dive into Earth's vast lore,

This touch binds us, forevermore.

In unity, friendship, we shall begin,

A cosmic dance, with no end or origin.

🤝

So dear alien, with eyes so wide,

Let's start with trust, side by side.

In the vast universe, so immense and deep,

A handshake's promise is a bond we'll keep.
