Celestial Scene



Fragments of whispering light blanket the black velvet back-drop,

Providing a jeweled sky holding other worlds one is wise not to deny,

The moon's warm glow a reminder of the mysterious secrets we yearn to know,

A sojourn from here to there, within thin air, time taken for flight no more than the light,

A different plane, yet still the same, if an open door one should find, hold back the fear and free the mind,

A wonderful world this one we know, to the ones we don't what a great gift it would be to go.

About this poem

Inspired from an intense desire to know more about what is beyond our planet.
