MAY 2022 -- Out Beyond Antares

OUT BEYOND ANTARES

If we leave this world,

Seek out another one,

What options will we find

Out beyond Antares?

Will there be blue skies,

Lush hills and fruited plains

Awaiting mankind’s step

Out beyond Antares?

Or vistas quite strange,

Colors twisting our ken

Forging a new normal

Out beyond Antares?

Pushing us to bend

To adjust and adapt

Embracing our new home

Out beyond Antares.

A world of new hope,

A fresh course we can chart,

New harmonies we’ll sing

Out beyond Antares.
