Poetry: Stars
Every night I gaze up at the stars
Looking with wonder at Venus and Mars
"Are we the only ones here?" I ask out loud
No answer. Only an occasional clap from a cloud.
Far away lies Alpha Centouri.
There may be people just like you and me.
Two suns, one yellow and the other blue.

But who knows, they could be already on there way
To our planet Earth, place of my birth
Together we will make great mirth

Are they wondering about us too?
What we think, say, or do?
Alas, the stars twinkle a last goodbye
Before dawn breaks across the sky.
Night owls have gone to bed and so must I.
I'll dream of the faraway worlds around the stars up high.

Until the morning light.
The world around

Five Points of Light
Shooting Star! Shocking!
Did you see it fly across the sky?
Awestruck I stare wondering
if it could mean
