I am in an Alien World

Dr Abe V Rotor 

Drynaria fern covers the limbs of an acacia tree. Tagudin, Ilocos Sur

I wonder from far below if my sight is failing,
     or my imagination is taking me to the past,
when the giant reptiles began to form wings
     to escape the doom of a meteor's blast.

Or is a dead giant resurrecting in its wake,
     its limbs growing out into progenitors
that biology has failed to discover or probe,
     else i offer my apologies to my mentors.

I surrender each discovery I make to knowledge,
     knowledge no one can claim his own;
my poor mind has to wait for an answer, if any,
     even those before mankind was born.
