Dependable as a Billionaire's Promise

 Sharing with The Sunday Muse #123.


The world looked like a Cascade commercial
after the domes were built; sea glass processed 
into our own little alien colonies.

Did they tell you we grew here? Came from this,
the sea that floats our re-colonies? Everyone 
is an alien and a native.

We never belonged. The sky whispered louder
than the waves. Can you imagine hearing it?
Full of worlds just beyond us.

Ones better than this. Ones that don't--yet--
hate us, seasick on its slick surface, waiting
for the return always promised:

We will return from paradise, we will never forget.

CEOberus assures you all his promises are 100% reliable. Also, it's time for his 9:30am scritchies.

  2. CEOberus is master of all he surveys! This piece sounds like Star trek episode to me, and I love ST just to be clear. Or maybe Total Recall.

    Yes, Chrissa! It's been going on for too long. The pandemic turns the world upside- down
    We long for the 'old normal' !

  5. "Everyone
    is an alien and a native." Your words ring true, what with all those negative issues forcing people out of their spaces to eek out better living for themselves.

    Happy Sunday Chrissa. Thanks for dropping by my blog

    Much💜love
