An Astronaut’s Tale #2 – I Come in Peace

More about An Astronaut’s Tale #2 – I Come in Peace

My daily monotony in space came to an abrupt halt

I discovered a new planet, called it Jesper X341

As I landed on this barren rocky planet

My mood darkened, desolate landscape, no sign of life

Correction, a geologist would be ecstatic

As a physicist I have no love for cold rocks

But right now my imagination runs wild

What if?

I’m standing confidently on a pedestal in a vibrant alien landscape filled with colorful flowers

A visually stunning planet looms in the background

My suit and gear would be perfect on a cosmic catwalk

I take this planet as mine, I’m the uncontested ruler of Jesper X341

Hold on, I come in peace

I bring flowers, not subjugation

My delirious fantasy comes to an end and I see the harsh reality

Reality sucks, even in deep space

I know what I prefer

What about you?
