--------

on an island In an ocean
8 light years from the Sun
blue sky, warm air in slow motion
at last we have begun

to explore this planetary
jewel among the stars
to breathe the air while being wary
as once we did on Mars

where we lived before beginning
to sail the plasma sea
E.M.fields counter spinning
electric-al-ly

currents flowing and propelling
as we sailed on through
the ISM's tidal swelling
'til this world came in view

testing microbes, watching creatures
on the ground and in the air
with the island's marine features
studied everywhere

on an island In an ocean
under blue sky, feeling warm
far across the plasma ocean
curiosity reborn...
