Waiting
He's sitting waiting
Lost, thinking, deep in the night
A flash in the sky
Is it what he hopes
Is the waiting at an end
The proof he needed
No, the light is gone!
Only a lone shooting star
Not what he needed
A proven theory
Postponed without evidence
Again hopes are dashed
Are we on our own
Are others out searching
Contemplating us
Or are there just stars
His hope will not die
A flash in the sky
