The Cosmos

The Cosmos To stare across the galaxy with telescope and fervent love The gaseous dusty stars above, a constellation cluster reigns A pulsar radiates two beams, a lighthouse flicker on both sides Magnetic force that also spins around black holes we cannot see Mythology has played a role an epic number of myth abounds The Ursa Major or Giant Bear chased by hunters round the orbs Myth is transferred to many lands; the Gods who sought to save the earth Bring terror to the other Gods and Tricksters with their devious plans A constellation to behold with Orion in the evening sky A hunter and his giant stars bring history to the universe The never ending spacious search in the black of night and all its lure A random comet whizzes by and newer planets to explore As planetariums do evolve the cosmos is a smaller place Some day soon a craft will land unknown to Earth unknown to man They’ll share their secrets and their myths and maybe if good fortune brings They’ll tell us how they also found the secret of Eternal Peace.
