Outer Space

Outer Space. The stars at night shine so bright, what mysteries do they hold ? Men go off in their silver machines to seek out new planets never seen. I gaze so far but cannot see the wonders the universe must hold. The earth floats like a blue marble, the moon our neighbour, but not made of cheese as we where lead to believe. Apollo 15, the astronauts saw its, crust was dust, craters, and valleys, rocks.The earth's shadow spreads her face across the moon like a smile. The big bang, a smash up in space, cosmic dust, gravity, sunlight, liquid, water, life, the goldilocks planet, how did it happen ? Brian Strand.
