we had crashed on an alien world,
our ship was beyond all repair,
and though we had prayed for our rescue,
we knew we weren’t going anywhere.
*
years after we’d made this our home,
a scouting ship spotted our lair,
and though we had prayed for our rescue,
we knew we weren’t going anywhere.

I’m liking the mixture of giant crystals and ice crystals.
Definitely makes it look cool and also more alien.
Interesting poem. 🛸 It makes me wonder…

Thank you! I got the image from AI called Gemini on my phone. It’ll create any image I describe, pretty cool. We didn’t even imagine a lot of this tech back in the 60’s, while we watched Star Trek.

Brilliant verse in my humble opinion and the ai image well suited to it… So, I wonder if it is imagination or soul memory beyond mass consciousness. My sister had a similar story and vision but the alien planet was Earth and when our spaceship crashed, we all died. Not as romantic a story as yours. Like so many other people, we are drawn to the Pleiades and I feel particularly drawn to the Sirius star system. And like many others, I am drawn to Mars with its destroyed atmosphere in a Star War… like the ancient Indian texts speak of as well as the Bible as ‘war in the heavens’ which we culturally dismiss as being mere myth. Soul memories over-ride cultural and religious beliefs that change slowly or quickly depending on controlling powers 🤩😍

My late wife and I were drawn to the three stars in the belt of Orion, especially as they are related to the three great pyramids. She was an eclectic witch, and I found it all very interesting, to say the least! Thanks, Shelley!

She must have been a fascinating lady, Michael. I have a feeling that the Great Pyramids, or ‘Three Kings’ or ‘Three Witnesses’ ( I think of them as ‘witnesses’ to the original builders from Orion I’m guessing) were and are also built on other planets (like Mars) as ‘calling cards’ you might say. The Egyptian Pharaohs who claimed the Great Pyramids as their own creations were just glory seekers. The Egyptian imitations were really nowhere near as good. If I carved my name inside the Statue of Liberty would future tour guides claim I had built it? lol! I had to laugh when I heard this nonsense in Egypt and Hollywood movies once I realized the hidden history of our world with regard to the Great Pyramids. Someday Humanity will see and think beyond our Playpen.

One interesting point was this: years ago, I read that Edgar Cayce (the sleeping prophet) said the great pyramids were built around 10,500 b.c., and then I found out that the position of the stars lined up perfectly with the pyramids around… 10,500 b.c. Hmmmm…

Edgar Cayce was amazing. I also believe that the Great Pyramids were built then before Egypt was first settled and was ruled by Pharaohs. Much of Humanity’s history is scrambled or hidden from us now. Perhaps like our modern times will be in the future here. I feel that the Great Pyramids are the Biblical ‘witnesses’ of the Elohim, the ‘El’ who came from the stars. No proof, just a feeling.

Yes, and why do so many people get those same feelings about the pyramids?
