Astonishing place

As we escape from

Liminial Space

Into the real world

We navigate

Led by a strange force

Bargain is made

No time for remorse

Cannot explain

Where we have stranded

Question in vain

What we abandoned

Can we assume

That we were guided

To a new world

For our survival?

Perfect home

Like a dream

We repress

Promises

As we inspect

Our new home world

Come to suspect

We're not alone here

Things have evolved

Out of the ocean

Onslaught of life

Perpetual motion

Colossal flora

Thickset greenery

Treetop umbrella

Lushest canopy

Colossal fauna

Roaming freely

Feathered and long necked

Can't believe it

Monsters feed

On our trees

How to get

Rid of it?

We drop out of liminal space

And there it waits in pale blue grace

The third planet from the sun

We made it

Against all odds

We insisted

Planet B, it must exist

The great emptiness survived

We are staying alive

Vistas

Of beauty so pristine

Verdant life

As far the eye can see

Overwhelmed

We finally catch our breath

The stars aligned

Escape from certain death

Although

There's one impediment

The animals

Are all gargantuan

The bargain calls

Our souls are finally gone

We nuke the beasts

Into oblivion

We drop out of liminal space

And there it waits in pale blue grace

The third planet from the sun

We made it

Against all odds

We insisted

Planet B it must exist

The great emptiness survived

We are staying alive
