Poem
Time froze solid over crystal ledges Not withstanding planetary degrees of cold Eroded ages in deep space remain Below zero beyond the inner planets A pure white landscape far away Fixed in the void a world displaced Through no fault of its own Ice geysers spew forth from tectonic force Debris escapes through thin atmospheres embrace As the rings of Saturn part No gravity to hold it back from endless dark Sacred worlds, engineered by natures magic Reminded of Earth's past without the people Religion, caskets, cold graves and catacombs Back on the home planet are gone or frozen It seems so long ago Brought in from the cold on dim candles glow Before the age of matches lit the way In the age of Renaissance, intelligence grew With colorful flowers, warm hues and daring fragrances Lifted enlightenment to bloom Soon there would be rockets in the future History holds nothing back not even floods Love of exploration and science are not taboo To build a future Divine intervention fits in small crevasses In hour glasses devoid of population Sand can not keep up with time Plenty of ice though fills in unknown zones So many barren worlds stand out there alone Planets move fast, stretch on vast distances Far from the sun Measure out frost in the cosmos cold and long Engineering inventions will do The way, the truth, the light Replacing catacombs and candles Hope springs eternal in the depth of space Where lights flicker, ashamed to go out of place Cosmic storms rain on with asteroids Manufactured in the void Where it is always cold Ice Planet roams alone Awaiting an encounter
