Is Anybody Out There?

Is Anybody Out There?
To the Blessed Beauty

"Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute."

Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, LXXXII: “Thou hast asked Me concerning the…”

Is anybody out there?
I have to answer
"Yes!"

The Blessed Beauty tells me
that all stars
have planets,
and all planets life.

For me,
this is a matter of scripture,
I accept it on faith
because I know
that eventually the proof
we be made manifest.

Poet's Note: ▼

I got the idea for this title from writing.com newletter "Noticing Newbies Newsletter (July 12, 2017)" . The newsletter was about socializing on line, but when I saw the title I thought about SETI (Search for extraterrestrial intelligence) and the scripture by Baha'u'llah about all fixed stars having planet and planets life. This is Poem 41 of 200 Dedicated to The Blessed Beauty.
