Viewpoints

viewed by astronauts,
Earth is a massive blue sphere
stand outside at night, look up

see a universe
filled with sprawling galaxies
we’re but specks of creation

You have put such an enchanting beauty in these lines that one would like to have really a look of our planet from outside to feel the greatness of your write.

Yes, so very true! We are one of the smallest planets in the universe! We're also one of the smallest systems in the universe! This poem is perfect for this subject! I love how you had people out in space looking in on our planet and those on our planet to look out at space! Very nicely done Carolyn! Great Work!!
