Galactic Traveler
Alone in time and space
Lost in eternal paths
And orbits that you trace 
Cosmic cartographer
Through nothingness you turn
In hope some distant eye
Could faintly see you burn

Transiting the heavens
Resplendent angels' course
All of your life unknown
Viewed vividly in force
Eclipsing every eye
Lightning speed, sudden flash
Earth's extinction event
Reducing us to ash

Such a great Acrostic poem that images the unending galactic space and how insignificant and vulnerable Earth is in its scheme. Well done, and congratulations on your Trophy First Place win, Jesse. Sandra
