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.
