The Ballad Of The Girl From Outer Space

Yet another poem I wanted to share.

The Ballad Of The Girl From Outer Space
Tumblr

I once met a girl at the age of eighteen,

She was the most stellar gal I ever did seen.

The moment I saw her, I knew I would never be the same.

I felt I had heard the universe screaming my name.

Her feet were bare, her hair was grey,

Her skin matched the color of the milky way.

Her eyes were as big as Saturn, her lips were as red as mars.

The freckles that dotted her cheeks reminded me of the stars.

She told me that life among planets was all she´s ever known

And that running with the comets was her only true home.

She cried ¨Help me, I´m ready to leave this place

I need you to take me back to outer space.¨

So she took my hand and to the cosmos we sped

¨I can never go back.¨ I looked to her and said.

And I never did come home, but for all that it´s worth

I´ll give my regards to mother Earth.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
