Streaked across the astral sky a cosmic snowball friend off to points unknown in space and time and time again, a smile imprinted on my mind, though sometimes.. your long dusty ion tail makes me sneeze meek's deep solar wind left a bright arching trail and in its fading beauty an aching learned so well, life and love are fleeting..

Richard: Your powerful, last truthful line and Telstar….. I’m full of emotion as I realize how long it is now, since I first heard Telstar. Life is fleeting. Best, SuZ

In response to your question below, yes I saw EArth Girls are Easy. I think I even wrote a sonnet by that name. (since I am triple Earth signs: Virgo twice and a Taurus!!) the movie was great!

Andrea, Thanks for that comment. I've always loved comets. Did you see the movie 'Earth Girls Are Easy'? (American musical science fiction romantic comedy from 1988) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097257/ -Richard

Off to points unknown in space and time--a smile imprinted on my mind--awesome poetry my friend. Furthermore:--in its fading beauty learned well---life and love are fleeting. You shine in this stellar write, Richard. Simply wonderful. Into my FAVES.
