[hometext] => Space may not be as cold and lonely as we once thought...
[bodytext] => I saw a light in the sky tonight Twas not the moon I speak of, but the amazing Cosmic spectacle of An exploding comet, I shut off the porch lights, I Took out my binocs, and I looked at the sideways W-shaped throne of Cassiopeia in The northeastern sky A little below, near a Star in Perseus, There it was In all its white-hot brilliance It may have only been a Globular white haze in the Sky But it was beautiful To the right of Perseus Lay the cluster of stars Known as the Pleiades Both brighter and dimmer stars shone Their scintillating light In an almost cane-shaped Cluster A beauty in the sky, I say, A beauty in the sky I see, I feel, I taste, The brilliance of the cosmos Its balance helps life flow I love to sky watch Knowing that something is Happening up there Is a great comfort Because it shows that time Has no bearing on the beauty Of the universe Yet it is also disturbing Because it shows that Time is moving along, as It should, but knowing that, It may soon fold over. The Universe is just a graphic On a greeting card that the Gods and goddesses trade One day, we may be in the Hands of another Scary to think it, But to know -- That is tough Only because we may Never know what lies Beyond our galaxy Hundreds of star systems, With planets, and we are The only ones? I'd like to think we are not But the truth is out there as They say, And one day, we may find a Population of poets, bards, and Singers of song, artists, and writers, All of the Romance of star clusters, Colourful gasses, and black holes. I think, Therefore I know that I can Reach it one day The salvation of man is pre- Determined; we are all going To the Heavens, And Cassiopeia will be there, As well as Perseus, and Orion, Sagittarius the archer, and Leo the lion There is more out there Than just a starry void Scientists may find, just Maybe, that space isn't Really cold at all, But as warm as the sun- Kissed grass on Earth Free me, oh starry abyss Of eternal night, Free me, you cluster of Glittering stars, Free me, oh, giant planets of The universe Free me, thou gaseous, Colourful nebulas, Free me, oh, holes of Inky blackness that leads To nowhere Nowhere but our minds Collectively, we need the Heavens It is not as cold as we think As I write, new branches of thought Grow out, and all because I saw a light in the sky tonight [comments] => 3 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Cupid [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
