How few of we mere mortals understand <br />That every star we see a sun may be <br />To planets in that distant wonderland <br />Where few may now sustain life such as we. <br />Should that be so a million other stars <br />Within our galaxy and far beyond <br />May thus attest to lack of any bars <br />To life like ours within our little pond. <br />But though such other beings may be there <br />We may not know them nor they know of us: <br />We live not long enough to travel there, <br />With even radio we can't discuss. <br /> <br />I only do conceive our spirits may <br />Be 'posted' there one glorious future day.<br /><br />Eric Bult<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/future-postings/
