Dawn On a Small Planet

Just a small speck 
                  on the cosmic wheel 
We must forge links 
  with the unknown 
     Before the shadow falls 
We can be seen dancing 
        on a small planet `
  As astral clouds pass us 
by 
   we take stock 
of our posisition 
    Not a moment to waste!
We must survive
    in the unearthly 
landscape
    gather our strength 
  for the final struggle 
In deepest space 
We dare to lift up 
    our small flag 
It flatters bravely 
         in the void

this cosmic magic is most likely very close to reality....Matthew, your visionary poem is the medium that communicates best our hopes for our future, I enjoy clean writes, without unnecessary punctuation that distorts the purity of the message, this poem succeeds immensely! BRAVO! jimbo

Interesting way to start off a new planet,, Kinda feels as we do float and not spin. I try not to think of us as small speks, but the truth is we are. Sorry my comment has nothing to do with your poem. I am just a Universe kind of girl. I like to view my self as a star viewing the earth for all its flaws. Nothing will get it straight, it is never to late, enjoyed,..LeeAnn
