TIME TRAVELERS
The prompt for for Sunday Scribblings is "It's Out There"
TIME TRAVELERS
We sought this day in many a tale
of rocket trail to alien world.
We bridged the rifts of space to sail
to far star-studded galaxies
with chair-bound ease.
The future beckoned. Now, instead,
it looms, hard headlined fact. Our world
grows strange. We step with grudging tread
into a mapless land and cold.
Too soon
Too old.

absolutely true. sometimes i cant keep up with what's happening and as we grow older we wonder when are we going to witness these or those discoveries
It's a strange old world we live in, and we are not being told the half of what is going on - or has gone on.
yes, maybe but the human spirit forces to seek...to go higher...to learn more and sometimes we faulter but as humans we grow
Yours is a sad reflection on life and mans foolish dreams. We are all time travelers and must enjoys those realms that are within our reach. It is just that I want more.
Things advance at such a rate today. I think I'll just stay chair-bound and watch from a distance!
Intense and true. Well done!
And congratulations on your Honorable Mention in last week's Limerick-Off. Great job! Limerick of the Week 106
