O, Bright Shining Star

O, bright twinkling star shining speck in the sky Your place in the cosmos matters not to my eye I don't know if you're arid your surface bone-dry Or covered with water your seas swelling high If your atmosphere's toxic filled with methane Or inundated perpetually with punishing rains So many questions have I aflame with curiosity Yet they all swiftly pale midst your luminosity

Whoa, down girl! The cosmos is full of black holes, I hear. Hate for us to get stuck in one of those. LOL. Thanks for the love on this one, Connie. Smiles, Gershon
