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.

Saturn "as a tiny top" - this is exactly write! This is why it makes this poem right! Wow! Great metaphor.

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.

Yes! Space IS alive, very much so! There are just such huge gaps between exhibits, so to speak. Nice! :) gw
