asteroids descend
lava erupts from below
flood waters sweep clean
leaving traces of its stay
for wildfires to have its way

The one thing about relationships
With all of their trials and their quips
It's so easily found
That the more you're around
It's just too hard to keep puckered lips

black diamonds are different than white ones
They did not form inside the earth
They arrived here on asteroids
They are from outer space
register ten on the Mohs hardness scale
and deflect negativity from the wearer

Miles and miles above our heads,
millions of them, I believe it's said,
way up in the skies, past the moon and stars,
somewhere near Jupiter and nearby Mars,
space rocks, called asteroids,
are hot topics these days.
We'll be "mining the skies," for silver and gold,
and other precious metals, like titanium, I'm told.
During the gold rush days,
remember the stories of the old West?
"There's gold in them thar hills!"
Now the "Gold Rush" is out in space!
And the prize is worth the race.
Space stations are being planned,
the size of Texas, they say.
And machines, like snow blower's,
will suck up the space treasures
of near-earth asteroids,
if the aviator's have their way.
Heaven has gates of pearl and streets of gold
and other treasures we'll someday behold.
But exploring the heavens, we'll continue to do,
because God's riches of creation, are never ending to be found.
And God doesn't make junk. His treasures abound.

Have you ever considered asteroids for a living place,
if you are a pioneer in the exploration of space?
On any of these countless solar-orbiting rocks,
a space station can be built where a spaceship docks.
They can be stepping-stones during voyages to the stars.
They make it practical to colonize places such as Mars.
We have advanced so far. Expectations have been exceeded.
Large, expensive rocket boosters will no longer be needed.
Gravitational pull compared to earth’s is just a fraction.
Launching is economical and an easier action.
This would be a fuel saver for a longer journey.
Our progress has made it a plausible possibility.
