Deep sky - deep deep! <br />What lies out there? <br />On earth I'll stay and sleep, <br />But to the sky I'll stare. <br /> <br />Some erudition to gain <br />From the swirling galaxy, <br />Perhaps I look in vain <br />Knowing not what to see? <br /> <br />The seeds of the years <br />That man has thought, <br />Going here and there's <br />What is after sought. <br /> <br />Searching not through <br />For life is full of growth, <br />Eternal springing youth: <br />Peace embellishing oath. <br /> <br />Ways are unpredictable - <br />Always new within new! <br />Some space dark and dull <br />With twinkling stars so few!<br /><br />Peter S.
