PDC3K Entry Week 8 - Faraway Friends

Faraway Friends

One night whilst camping and warm by the fire,
Lights overhead made us admire.
Not a satellite or star, but a ship of some kind,
We thought we were going out of our minds.
And then like an arrow shot a neon blue beam
First there was stunned silence, but broken by screams.
Most started running through the fields and flowers
But my eyes remained transfixed, drawn in by its power.
And then like magic it drew me high to the deck
I pinched myself twice as a reality check.
Inside the spaceship looked much like a car
The furry dice on the mirror made it feel quite bizarre.
And there stood before me some outlandish creatures
Though not scary at all, with elegant features.
Then in a voice that was musical and soft
One said 'Hello, can you help us? I think that we're lost'.
'On the ring road round Saturn we went the wrong way'
'And now we are late for a wedding far away'.
I told them that Earth was the place that they'd reached
'We've not gone far wrong' the alien then screeched.
'Thank you so much but now we must go'
'We will come back some day and repay this debt that we owe'
He then turned the key and the engine came on
They returned me to Earth and then they were gone.
And when I tell this story, most think I'm insane
But I'll always stay hopeful they'll come back again.

This is my first entry into one of @robyneggs #poetrydice #PDC3K competitions.
