An event of a day it was as such
Crossed cities and rivers
From angel hour and beyond dawn
Hasty breakfast, haste shelved on bench
A corner cafe or a brunch spot pop-up,
For a change...
One had work, academic championship to compete
Family in tow, support and holiday retreat
The day yawned its way to dusk
And back again after a day of silent rush
Pitch black sky and warm lit roads
Twinkling headlights
From arrays of human drawn carriage
Anecdotes about supposed aliens
We playfully rummage
The lights grow, instant sun in seconds
The day was back...
We muted noises and saw
Was the light there, brighter than the sun?
Did day break for a minute and then was gone?
Or did aliens heed our voices and stories
And plug a proof-of-life on?
Stunned and shocked and confused and elated
Words lost coherence, our eyes we doubted
Still stopped for an evening snack
Sweet treats and desserts,
This day had a knack.
Slept off, planning dreams of UFOs...
The papers broke the mysticism -
An array of burning asteroids they reported.
(Albeit massive and rare.)
Bummer!
