Welcome home

On a September night, showering me with light,


the stars were witnessing a fortuitous meeting.


I followed the weeping, thinking I was dreaming.


The origin in sight, I stopped walking in fright.

At first, I closed my eyes, told myself I surmised,


but I could not deny the alien soft cry.


“Hey little guy, look at the sky and say goodbye.


Please follow me, I guarantee, you will feel free.”

We arrived at my house, I brought him to my spouse.


She greeted him kindly and she loved him blindly.


She brought him close to her, hugged him like a mother:


“Though little guy, please do not cry, now close your eyes.”
