A CONTEMPORARY VOICE2025

Triple sunset

Here lies the bathing light of the red dragon, deepening horizons on a world so foreign Yet much like a haven that is our Earth, there could be water on its surface unhurt Could there be life too on this land of the triple-star, would they also figure out who they are? Would they comprehend the distant binary-star show? that they are the suns of the one they know Oh what a view it would be, for life there to see But if on that world there isn’t any, let it be the carved destiny of humanity.
