Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

The Eternal Tourist

I pondered on the firmament

Wondering where comets went

They seem to be in some cosmic race,

As they hurtle around in outer space.

A beautiful sight upon the eye

When they grace a starlit sky,

But it must be strange indeed

Eternally going at full speed,

In endless orbit, on and on

Off into the far beyond,

To places we will never see

Touring, for eternity.

Lin Lane July 23, 2017 at 5:36 AM I ponder such things too, Garn. Where do falling stars go? The night skies are filled with reasons for us to search them. Love the poem. Gary Smith July 23, 2017 at 6:14 AM Thank you Lin :)

Heidi Sands July 22, 2017 at 6:45 PM I feel like I just went for a tour with this one Gary. You have a way with your writing of bringing the reader right there with what you are writing about. That is good writing :) Gary Smith July 22, 2017 at 6:55 PM How kind Heidi, thank you :)
