Left here for awhile, what is needed lay at my side,
There is no air but the gift of breath is with me now.
From this place it is that the universe is alive,
In all directions everything created is before these eyes.
Comets zoom by with the greatest of speed,
Stars are bright, everyday appears as night.
Asteroids are somewhere out there, everywhere,
I sit here stranded on the moon among the cosmos.
The sun is so bright with fire, burning in the dark,
The only thing i can’not see is heaven, where are you.?
The earth is spinning faster than i have ever imagined it to,
Like a dream to see the oceans’ and a world not so big
Compared to what is seen from here.
Keith Garrett
Great poem. I love the startling imagery you use, making me imagine what it would be like to be up there in the cosmos for real.
