Voices From the Planets

The day is passing 
                     rapidly
moons
continue to circle 
                      the planets
On our small orb 
         we dare to raise 
our own personal flag
in the face of eternity
Let the stars continue to 
       shine
We needn't worry 
    We've survived so 
far
    and with any luck 
we'll continue to do so
     Comets pass by leaving 
trails of ice and 
fire in the depths of space
Voices in the distant galaxies
  are caught in our
electronic devices
  the sounds of deep space
reverberate in our own,
very cosmic souls
