Telescope

View the planets and the stars
 See the beauty that is Mars,
 Look at the heavens in all its splendor
 Observe the galaxies it may render

 Distant stars in all their glory
 As the universe tells its story,
 Look at all of Saturn's rings,
 And the many moons Jupiter brings

 Distant galaxies all come into view
 You may catch a glimpse of Neptune too
 As you view the heavens from afar
 And catch the twinkles of a star
                       ***

I grew up on an island in the pacific, and although we own no telescopes, still the beauty at night staring up in the night sky is absolutely beautiful. Your gem here just reminds me of that. Beautiful poem, Joseph.

Love this Joseph ! I have always gazed at the stars in wonder trying to make out all of the realms beyond . I used to sleep out in a tent with my younger sisters in our backyard and tell star gazing stories . Of course we had popcorn too ! All the best, Susan :)

I love looking at the heavens on a clear night, we have low levels of light pollution here so it can be quite spectacular just like your lovely lines Joseph:-) hugs Jan xx
