A Sapphire Ring
Looking back at the Earth, I can't really describe how beautiful it is from 300 miles up. Looking down, you can tell it's a planet. The sky is black. There's just a thin blue ribbon, what we see as blue sky on Earth. You realize how small it is and how fragile the planet is...............by Astronaut Mike Good:
a thin blue crescent
of earth from the moon looks like
a jewelled head band
crowning a young queen
on a dark night when her love
slides a sapphire hoop
silver stars sparkle
above this clear azure line
making love life snug
