Operating At Zero G

Operating at Zero G

As cosmos coalesces with the universe
Lights out at space station four
Meteor storm exaggerated its orbit
Plunged it into brilliant dark
Surgeon lost his grip on scalpel and will to cut
As he floated from the operation
Down the hall with nothing on his mind
Patients convalesce and wave good-bye
Touched only by a will to live in space
Astronauts knew not what to do
They too spun away 
And prayed for better weather

Good morning Sara, I hope you enjoyed my fabricated space sojourn. It is hard to operate with no light or gravity out there and meteors crashing into you all the time. We can only hope the patients didn't have a serious space bug. Thanks for commenting. Take care. Earl
