Ships of Flight

A UFO themed piece (inspired by planes which would fly over my home along the same path on a regular basis at night).

They come traveling in lines
They do it all the time
Headlights beaming
Red lights blinking (as they go)
Flying by my home
I wonder where they come from
And where they offload

Ships of flight
They take to air
Under cover of darkness
They're headed somewhere
What do they bring? (precious cargo)
Secrets of the ancient world
And knowledge of tomorrow

Seize them? No
It cannot be done
Because upon their arrival
They're all ready on the run

Away they jet
Faster than light
You blink once
And they're all ready out of sight

Just where to?
No one knows
But they will come again
For their story must be told

As we advance
The more we'll learn of them
Wondering if these ships of flight
Are enemy or friend
