Beneath the Blue Dome

"Looking back at 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. "  

                                                   Quote by _  Astronaut, Mike Good . . . 


me, a tiny speck
on Earth, beneath the blue dome
a celestial sphere of sky
ever changing hues
oh, just a thin blue ribbon
when viewed from deep outer space

beyond the blue sky
the sun, planets, stars and moon
and from my view bright rainbows
and white drifting clouds
but, although so beautiful
my Earth, is being destroyed

Andrea Dietrich May 16, 2016 at 8:57 PM It was very nice, Constance. Sorry it did not place. I like how you finished with this great beauty of ours being destroyed. I wonder what it will look like from space fifty years from now.

Gail Underwood May 14, 2016 at 4:30 PM A brilliant write and yes sad to think that many are intent on destroying Earth and don't see how beautiful it really is

Phil Capitano May 11, 2016 at 4:10 PM Perspective is everything; well done...sad but true.

Paul Callus May 11, 2016 at 4:23 AM You have ably tackled this theme, Constance, looking at earth from two different vantage points. Earth has so much to offer, and yet greed is ruining what we have. ~ Regards // paul

Robert Heemstra May 8, 2016 at 6:43 PM At first as I was reading it I was thinking of that David Bowie song, Major Tom, than the ending brought me back to reality! Great write Broken Wings!
