Astronauts Descent
As the vastness of heaven falls before my eyes
The twinkling of its luminous dwellers reveals presence
Allowing my eyes to focus on the depth of the skies
Feeling at one with the greatness of the many stars
I feel comfort in the genuine sparkle, almost as an accolade
Thereby warming me, welcoming me from as distant as Mars
My voyage is great, but not as when I return back to mother Earth
The big blue marble, as she calls me home, to the shores and land I love
To the many who care, who applaud my return, to the place of my birth
