Yearning for something -
(as the sun sets in the horizon)
Forced to stay here
on this barren shore in hiding.
Such indignity -
(as the sun sets in the horizon)
Dust is settling on
everything you were
and will be.
Waiting. Ailing.
Constant searing pain -
(as the sun sets in the horizon)
Convalescing
somewhere far away
from the light of day.
As the sun sets.
And what about your name -
(as the sun sets in the horizon)
Does it exist
even in your
loved ones' memories?
As the sun sets.

"The transmission we managed to capture was correct. Look, there it is!"
"It's a real spaceship..."
"Look, it's opening!"
"Greetings, fellow travelers."
"You do not belong here! The men of Earth want above all else peace!"
"Oh, so do we."
"Then... then what's the reason for all this?"
"We have come for you. Don't you see? We are going to take you home."
