Standing Ready


rain and sun battle the valley
simultaneously,
faster than normal growth,
played out in full
by the sounds of engines...
remedial work for the farmers
whose crops have yet to be sewn,
a lake of fishermen come
home empty-handed,
after seeing their reflections
in the water,
dog tags are left at the front door,
waiting for the funeral director
to arrive with the programs,
and the smart money is on the
new generation who has no 
idea what life is all about...
stargazers stand on balconies
binoculars pointed to the sky,
systems troll the universe
looking for ways to avoid collision,
and we here on earth stand ready
with open arms should they fall.
