Chance Encounter?


A brilliant, humble family man

with intelligence well beyond 

his years encounters a red oval 

aircraft in the 1950’s

on a lonely empty road

He is told not to fear

because those inside

are friends


What begins as a supposed

chance meeting with a saucer

leads to two years of continued

engagements with the space

beings who reveal a true reality 

difficult to comprehend


God is the only one

who knows if they

were messenger 

angels sent to teach

or visitors who claimed

to be older brothers 

from another 

time concerned 

for our world 

Unable to interfere 

in Earth’s affairs

they assure their contact

we are greatly loved


(Inspired by a written saucer

account)

Too Close Encounter


I take delight in wildlife

but one encounter spooked me


It was late at night

when I took fright

from a giant rat I see 


He sat on my step, a frozen threat

when he finally ran to hide


I then realized 

because of his size

he was only a small opossum
