With planets, asteroids and such in unimaginable numbers in space the earth is but a grain of sand by comparison. May today be the equal of your favorite treat. Huggs TLee

This was rather a cosmic statement and a bit way out there for some here but there are a few like us in here thank the Lord that don't live on the surface. Thanks and catch ya later. TLee

A grain of sand is quite literal, as the most common element on the surface is silica, the major component of most sand. But still a nive though - lovely haiku.

I am so sorry but I'm not sure what you were trying to say here, did you mean ( But still a nice thought) I am unaware that silica doesn't exist in space and was referring more so to the earth as one of many grains of sand in the galexy. Thank you for your kind review and kindness to review. May happiness become your stalker. TLee

literally. lol I guess my thoughts are over the head of some who say they don't get it . Somehow I knew you would and you vindicate my intelligence. Some said they didn't understand the one I wrote about heavens tears so I changed it a bit much as I hated to. Thanks for becoming a friend TLee
