Serendipitous Moons

Serendipitous Moons

Here on our newly tamed planetary home

Settled once from earth mankind didst roam

Bathing beneath twin moons stand I

Basking in the dancing rays which catch my eye

Here mauve freckled cattle mixed with lavender

Provide for our people much provender

Newly discovered minerals provide us wealth

As once strange plants now benefit our health

Fondly my sight seeks out a transplanted owl’s flight

As he seeks new types of rodents with same old plight

Is he as wise as people once claimed?

If so, I could wish we had a trait so famed

We left behind a planet mankind had wrecked

To find a new home less woefully bedecked

Seventeen years my great grandparents didst fly

To reach a new home with a smog free sky

Hardships they met, dangers overcome

Here on Serendipity, our more pristine home

We have built a refuge from our troubled past

Beneath a cloudless sky in a galaxy vast

Behind me a crackle in foliage damp

My lady has deigned to join me from out tented camp

Come my love I say, kissing her reddened cheek

I take her hand knowing she is what I truly seek

Our society is not perfect, for still we are human

But we vowed in this new habitat to be less an intrusion

For her sake as well as our children to come

I swear to protect and preserve this our new home
