Inspired by the intriguing film “K-PAX”
A light year is a moment
Immersed within the glow
While travelling that vastness
To leave and say hello
The stars in every colour
The planets large and small
The satellites in orbit
Strange vistas that enthral
I see through eyes of wonder
I feel the calmness there
I hear the songs of angels
I climb each golden stair
I search with eyes of sorrow
I hope with hearts in pain
I pray to gods eternal
I laugh with those insane
Two galaxies are merging
See countless stars appear
Cocooned some still are yearning
To light the way to here.
Note:
The film based on the novel by Gene Brewer concerns a psychiatric patient who claims to be an alien from the planet K-PAX. During his treatment, the patient demonstrates an outlook on life that ultimately proves inspirational for his fellow patients and especially for his psychiatrist.
