Wonders of Space
At night, the sky morphs into
Black velvet with ebony
Creases that glisten 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 gets 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 out rhythmic 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.
