Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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
