Distant Dream
Unusual for a boy of just fourteen to
Roam in dreams through outer space then
After some two billion miles to glimpse
Nearby a wondrous blue-green orb.
Up close now, and he clearly saw a
Set of rings, unknown to all who ever gazed.
A dream I had in 1957. The rings were not
observed by astronomers
until twenty years later in 1977.
