Long ago in a sector not far away Demetrius and Darma want to play They each chose a solar system, their choices were clear They moved the stars until the solar rings were very near The game was not fair, was not right One of the stars was not really bright One solar system had planets with nice air The other had planets that were completely bare But Demetrius and Darma didn’t really mind Chess pieces, they crafted, their art was fine Once the piece were in place the planetary surface They looked over the stellar chess board, a lot of space. The game started with swiftness and skill Gigantic knights moved in closer for a kill The Queen hid behind the pawns on the moon. No luck for her, the castle was coming soon. Both kings fell to their doom Seem there wasn’t enough room Pawns flew through outer space None completed the race In seconds, it was victory Demetrius smiled at me. Darma old boy, you’ve got Karma Next time, for a real challenge, I’ll send my Mama. I smiled back at him very bright I know his Mama, She’s alright I asked Do you want to play again. Demetrius said bring it on friend! The game still goes on even now The playing field is smaller somehow. The pieces are smaller, the games isn’t as fast and light. But once in a while, we still step into space and play it right! If you want to play with me You’ll have to leave that body Step out into space And join my race! Lightness and space Not the human race Lots of light Very Bright Games and fun Life just begun! Life with no end Immortal my friend. The end. ©2009 Carl Watts www.carlwattsartist.com |
