IN THE VISIONS OF THE NIGHT

Alan Bean
In the visions of the night
I saw this earth
Lost among the silent stars
I saw this earth lost among the stars.
No established date of birth;
No estimated time of arrival.
In the visions of the night
I saw this earth
Lost among the stars.
In the visions of the night
I saw this earth
Numbering her battle scars
I saw this earth
Numbering her scars.
No sword of retribution;
No tears of absolution.
In the visions of the night
I saw this earth
Numbering her scars.
In the visions of the night
I saw this earth
Cradling a mother’s child
I saw this earth
Cradling a child.
Lost among the silent stars;
Mid the noise of battle,
In the visions of the night
I saw this earth
Cradling a child.
