Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Universe

Millions of galaxies with colors shining bright
  Distances can only be measured in light years
 Celestial bodies in clusters of light
 Making their orbits around massive spheres

 There are huge stars somewhere out there
 That may one day implode
 Its brilliant brightness will take a while to disappear
 Just a fraction of many an episode

 The Earth is just a small part of this vastness
 And we are but a speck in the scheme of things
 Earth orbit around the sun to express
 That time has come full circle, what joy it brings

 The sun sets as the day ends
 The moon rises as night descends
  Stars begin twinkling from afar
 It's time to wish upon a star!
