FROM EARTH IN SEARCH OF A NEW WORLD
Astropoem by Ion(ut) Moraru
Photo-scenario by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
I'm trying to move on to a new life expectancy,
A small exoplanet, Proxima Centauri d,
To the nearest possible world of the thousands identified.
Three hundred thousand years I should live to get there,
Almost four years if I were a photon.
My motto is to find liquid water.
The planet is smaller than Earth
And closer to its red dwarf star.
Maybe on the way
An alien will help me evolve?!
But I can also navigate with the thought, which flies
Far from the Earth we are destroying
(Which warns us by changing its climate abruptly).
Yes, I can navigate with the thought, which flies,
Sent by a telescope from a Chilean mountain.
