Telescope Revelations

It’s all written among the stars in the sky;
constellations tell the tales of old.
Gaseous nebulae reveal the magic of the cosmos;
as each planetary body spins to its own tune.
I once watched Saturn dancing through the heavens,
like a tiny toy top she whirled and spun;
elation filled my spirit at that moment
and I realized how alive space really is.

Jennifer Proxenos August 13, 2020 at 10:22 AM Space is alive and somewhat cluttered and polluted. Man has already almost killed Planet Earth and now they want to explore space - If I was a millionaire however, I would buy a ticket to space at least once a month - space fascinates me - love your poem MLK. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer. Jennifer. M. L. Kiser August 13, 2020 at 3:31 PM It's always fascinated me too. Thanks again.
