Two Minds In Harmony For Tom Mariani Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

A myriad stars, bright points of light
are twinkling in the darkling sky
and many more beyond my sight
far from this island galaxy.

Another planet family
may orbit round some distant sun.
Considered mathematically
the odds are that there might be one.

Which is the same or similar
as those orbit our sun.
Perhaps some being sees our star
and sits and meditates upon.

The remote possibility.
a life form of a different sort
in some far distant galaxy.
A being capable of thought.

Is looking skywards wondering
about the stars he cannot see
and seriously pondering.
Upon the probability.

That sapient life is not confined
but wide spread through the universe.
A thought both beings keep in mind
A thought that others think perverse.

I wonder if one day there’ll
be some way we can communicate.
Perhaps by thought telepathy.
Now there’s something to contemplate.
