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 flags
 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 by our 
electronic devices
  the sounds of deep space
  reverberate in our own
very cosmic souls
