What a Stunning Earth Below

Imagine being a first-time astronaut happily staring at the earth spinning from outer space, it can be breath-taking; in the blackness of the sky nothing is gaunt. Think of God when He finally decided to take a rest: the incredible images of the continents He gladly saw with their awesome mountains and oceans in azure mist as night sparkled with much splendor making angels bow. What a stunning earth below amid pretty planets! Stars have come to crown her with their gems; not noticing that the lonely moon above has wept by seeing an astonishing creation not windswept. Look closer: the ribbons of blue, red and green are the sparkling Northern and Southern lights stretching across the five magnificent continents; this scenery repeats itself even when not seen.
