A Visit, ballade metre with internal rhyme Options

[jgdittier]

A point of light, the jets fire bright,     change fire to flare
we sail the universe.
Those lights we see- our galaxy!        change those lights to the glow
In zillion stars, immersed.

On our return, our "world" will learn
of lesser life in space.
Our visit took a second look.
They are a different race.

The life we met had no flight yet,*
They chose to stare in awe.
When our ship docked, they all flocked, change they all to a huge crowd
entranced by all they saw.
*intergalactic

Their age was stone and that alone
was used when time to build.
We taught them math, the stellar path;
for we are wise and skilled.

They bowed to us and made such fuss    keeping the u sound
as though we were divine.
I'll not deny, was with a sigh,
but their thought, never mine.

We do not know how much they'll "grow".
We saw them near to birth.
I'll no more roam, I'm headed home.
"Goodbye" to planet Earth.

Dear Jox,
Optimistic about humans? To compare humans with other fauna forms
suggests to me that we obey the same rules, we're just smarter.
We and all critters seek self- benefit, comfort, etc. We have developed to a level where we can conceive of morality, which might not be the case for the lower critters.
It appears to me that the entire universe has its only role to provide a matrix for time and time's only role to allow for change to produce man and the "man" that will be as millions of years pass.
We are the reason for the universe. Just as change didn't stop with apes, it won't stop with us, but right now, we are the top of the food chain and we're the only ones able to know it.
What say you?
Cheers,    Ron   jgd
