A Ring Of Stars 

A sunbeam propelled to an unknown distance 
May in it's travel encounter resistance. 
This causes a gravity wave to be made 
Then this is propelled into another wave. 

At the point of impact they split rise or fall. 
They'll spiral around and blend in with all. 
Eventually they must dissipate into a single thing 
For there is only one entrance like in a key ring. 

Every propulsion will leave a void 
That must struggle to not to be destroyed. 
It draws the object back to where it was made 
Thus causing another gravitational wave. 

If a star enters a galaxy ring in the skies 
Will this be the beginning of it's demise? 
Will it continue to orbit back to the door 
And thus be propelled out into a void once more? 

Twinkle on mysterious stars 
I shall still wonder what all of you are. 
You just seem to endlessly float in space 
But is it really your permanent place? 

Perhaps

If it is true as Darwin states 
Same species can new species make. 
A molecule holds a simple code 
And delivers it to a new abode. 

Four chemicals is all it actually takes  
And all four must have different shapes. 
Billions of letters will spell out a creature 
And cell division will determine it's features. 

If creatures bubble up in lava from the ocean 
And mutations put the whole cycle in motion, 
I can only wonder from whence Lava started? 
Maybe from another planet it was somehow parted. 

If another planet was doomed and destructed  
And scattered it's debris and it's Lava ejected, 
Would it keep bubbling and turning 
And become a sun that keeps burning? 

Would this sun attract, consume and grow in size? 
Would the molecules hang on and refuse to demise? 
Would the cells mutate into new life forms? 
Perhaps this is the way a new world is born.

Perhaps Too 

I always wonder about the origin of the races. 
I believe we all arrived from different places. 
Mot in space crafts but from ocean depths and shores 
Transported as D.N.A embedded in meteors. 
Showers of these sank in our seas and our land mass 
At many different stages in our geological past. 
Each evolving life form contributed to our atmosphere 
Enabling each species to evolve and exist here. 
Will we be propelled in the right direction 
Or will we permit ourselves to explode into resurrection? 

Earth

I wonder if everyone wonders as I do. 
As a child, student, Entrepreneur, wife, mother, 
grandmother, sister, Aunt, Sweet Adeline, and writer, 
I still spend the bulk of my time wondering. 
I have learned so much in my lifetime and I write 
things down so that I won't forget anything that 
still amazes me. 
These are only a few things and I'm still wondering  
about them every wonderful day.
