The ebony canvas of midnight br Spangled with intricate stars br Entice my gaze to wonder br Could there be such as life on Mars br br The intergalactic lighthouse br The sphere we know as the moon br Hangs like a Chinese lantern br Evading my arid Lampoon br br The planets aligned in formation br Resemble immense stepping stone br Perhaps the stairway to heaven br Spanning the great unknown br br Comets that travel eternal br Descend from galaxies afar br In the scheme of things were miniscule br How vulnerable we are br br My thoughts drift way beyond light years br Pure interstellar reverie br Perhaps on some distant planet br Somewhere out there someone wonders like mebr br Steve Hancockbr br
