Up
the sky in dark space
The
heavenly bodies beckon
as
I look upon with awe and wonder
urging
me to travel to them, Yea
Moon
or mars or stars I travel, I compose
Near
moon or great distance away mars
Or
far far off stars all have mysteries to unravel
have
challenges to surmount if at all
I
chose to live on them stars excepted
The
thrills propel me to go exploring …
Distances
just great seemingly a deterrent
Choosing
the right space craft, right propulsion
inventing
new ways to shrink the light year
distances
to stars warp driving, worm hole jumping
or
by new means I plunge head long propelling…
Taking
safegaurds not to be fried by the onslaught
of
cosmic rays, armed with provisions for food,
communication,
survival kit to last a life time
if
I m to lose the spacecraft, stranded in space
survive
I will whether travelling or stranded midway
The
black space, the view it offers
by
the distant sights of moon, mars,
Coasting
to them or orbiting
The
enthralling sights of stars
Million,
billion light years away
All
inspire kindling the poet in me
to
capture the moments of flights,
manoeuvres,
perils, thrills and joy
into
the lines of an exciting poem
Poems
after poems as I travel, so sweet!
