Wonders of Space
At night, the sky morphs into
Black velvet: its ebony
Creases glistening with stars.
Darkness engulfs a wobbly
Earth spinning on its axis,
Forever circling the sun:
Gliding silently through space,
Held in place by gravity.
Imagine: an eternal
Journey into the unknown
Kingdoms of both time and space.
Lights appear in the sky like
Magic, when the sun sets, and
Night is put on full display.
Orbiting the Earth, the moon's
Pull sets tides to ebb and flow.
Quasars spin and pulsars pulse,
Revolving at super speeds;
Sending synchronized flashes
Throughout the fabric of space.
Uranus and Mars sink, as
Venus and Neptune ascend.
While Jupiter basks in the
X-rays streaming from the sun.
Yet, seeing a shooting star
Zip through the sky: tops them all.
