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.

And my mind floats into space; I touch Saturn's rings and; wow! Great imagery.

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.

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 :)
