The Universe Fire

Same world same light
Turning smoothly
Day to night
-
Cruising Silent
Round the sun Since conception she has done
In the cold
And
Empty space
Within her skin
So very thin
Moves onward Planet Earth With grace
-Her atmosphere
Her saving face
-With sheer disdain
To hurl herself
Upon the seethingComet belts
Where meteors
Shall meet
Their death
Deep within
Earth’s Gaseous breath
-
Plunging
Onward
Cloud and Sea
Spinning round
So
Evenly
Inertia
That would make you scream
Her mass
so
Mighty
It will bring
-
Nightmares
To
Your Mind
-
Yet picture this and we will see
As far as we all tend to see
The truth of where we live
We are told
Upon our Earth So very old
-
Yet
Few of us have seen it so
Yet we believe
As if we know
-
So why then
Should we not believe
In
Other things
We do not see?-
For
Never to have gazed upon
A
Sphere
In orbit
Round a sun
-
That is no bar to truth
It seems
So why deny our origins
- Andromeda or Orions Belt
Where stars are born Planets
Melt
-Where atoms into atoms smash
Where elements form
In a flash
And chemistry
Is King
-
It is to this we should aspire
-Our
Heritage
-
The
Universe Fire
-
Remind ourselvesJust
What
We
Are
-
Created
From
-The
Stuff
of
Stars
-
Expand our minds
To the bigger place
Where we all began
-The
Human Race
-
