Universe Secrets

Within our lifetimes
Man has found a long
stairway to the stars,
and with impudence
has invaded Mars.

The stars have shone
longer than Man
has been around
to admire them.

Stars' secrets
should not all
be revealed.

We should
let them

Shine.

Joyce, I love your poem, but I do want to explore other worlds. I have theories that human life began on Mars and I feel compelled to learn the truth. Masterfully written, my friend! Love, Carolyn

Somehow the mystery makes the beauty, so I agree. But to rate your write it is the beauty that excels the mystery.
