"Musings of a G-Woman"
(c) 1999 L.T. Clunas

Beneath the stark but starry sky
A silent life is passing by
And I ponder: What else is in this world?
Of our lives and from our past
And all things that are new and vast.
The old familiar universe unfurled.

Just then my partner looks to me:
"You've seen so much, but won't believe.
Science can't explain what we don't know.
There are mysteries of this land
The things that we don't understand
And other wonders that are not our own.

Their secret is an EBE
And government conspiracy
And I am here to prove that this is true.
But many times I need your fact
Your reasoning to hold me back.
You've kept me honest in this work I do."

So many times we disagree
Yet his theories set me free
From some of the science of my work.
And every time he takes a breath
A gentle flutter in my chest.
The subtle feelings that I cannot shirk.

From all of our experience
I know I cannot take the chance
To trust another being on this earth.
"Dana, you know of my life
The memories that cause me strife
Yet you're the only thing that's of more worth.

You are all that I have left
Without you I would be bereft
Of any faintest will to seek the truth."
There lies within his mortal soul
A passion I cannot control.
And the sadness only I can soothe.

Our methods are quite strange, but factual.
We veer toward the supernatural
Where black and white turn into shades of gray.
Our knowledge puts our lives in danger.
The mysteries are ever stranger.
Trust no one; it is the only way.

Even still, it's hard to believe
In things that science can't conceive.
But his lonesome quest is now my own.
We still search; the truth is out there.
Memories take me farther than I dare
And he believes that we are not alone.
