A million light years of pure darkness
Then a glow spreads through the night
Timeless moment of creation
Raw intelligence in flight.
An eye that opens to the starlight
Far away in time and space
Sees the galaxies and gas clouds
Given form by thoughts that race.
A sudden flash that blinds its sensors
Wakens those who wish to learn
And they swarm with much excitement
Always mixed with some concern
Is this the long awaited message
Or again one from quite near?
Are there patterns to its structure
To relieve the doubting fear?
But all their tests show it quite random
So at last they drift away
Little knowing that its content
Was for one that must obey.
There was much panic as their planet
Moved in closer to its sun
Which as no one had suspected
Was a new phase just begun.
Out there the ever moving darkness
Emanations of the night
Ripple out across that ocean
Feeling everything’s just right.
