Hey, it’s really nice to meet you and all of that
Just not in my bedroom wearing my hat.
I’ve been a believer more years than I can count
wanting to see you, just thinking I’d mount,
a campaign of sorts to make it real clear
That meeting an Alien, is nothing to fear.
####
Sure, we’ve freaked ourselves out with movies like Alien,
The Thing, The Blob, and others less salient.
But it wasn’t real hatred that created those stories,
The blood and the terror and everything gory,
We just didn’t know, didn’t bother to think,
That perhaps an Alien was a brother in sync,
With the dreams that we dream, the joys that we chase,
The passions, the trauma, the loss that we face.
####
We assumed we were better, the heroes, the best,
With the Aliens made villains, the worst of the rest.
So, let me just say, from a human who's longed for this meet
That sharing my Take-out has been a really great treat.

Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

Oh this was so amazing! I loved it!
I enjoyed this, especially "We just didn’t know, didn’t bother to think, That perhaps an Alien was a brother in sync..." ☺️
