Acute Childhood Astronomical Paranoia
In the sky, a brightly shining sun
is sending rays to catch someone,
but 'neath the trees I swiftly run.
Now, the hunt is taken by the moon,
but she won't snatch me very soon.
I peek from bed at that cratered goon,
who, undaunted, does then recruit
reinforcements, evil stars that shoot
twinkles at me, in hot pursuit,

ASTRONOMICAL BEINGS
Astronauts on an assignment.
Temporary, our confinement
In a rocketship of travel...
Above the earth to unravel
Planets out of their alignment.
Our past of conquering the moon...
My crew and I in our platoon.
With craters full of cavity
Amidst its zero gravity,
We returned home without maroon.
Within this endless field of stars...
Now, we bypass neighbouring Mars.
In the future - sometime, someday...
Sustainment of

Astronomical Encompassing
Awaiting bristled whisper of ghost jounced leaves
Lain gazing galaxies far from terra's tarpaulin roof
Exciting diamonds claw for cosy navy ink reprieve
Hark my insignificance in succinct majesty's truth
Hushed by muchness, my warmth absorbs His plenty
Lapped by luminous lure, iced gateau half eaten moon
Crumbled among sudden calm of Master's immensity
Awash in melodic acknowledgement, midnight's

The Astronomical Mighty Maybe
By the time you see me,
I'll be a long since past;
By the time you read me,
Your fortune will be cast.
While I brighten your night
With my twinkling light,
Know that your very existence...
Is but a miracle of might.

Astronomical Envy of Astronaut Spirit
A merry display of earth’s socks from space.
They’re head over heels — a holiday ace.
Their Santa hats rock
with floating pom flocks.
These weightless bioches from space.
