At night Earthly seas of ebony, <br /> Reflect the seas of space. <br /> Reflect the hopes and dreams, <br /> Of all the human race. <br /> <br /> Tiny lanterns in the midst of darkness, <br /> Light the way to the future of mankind. <br /> To go and search the heavens, <br /> Once only dreams of a dreamers mind. <br /> <br /> Man has now left the bonds of earth, <br /> To sail this new dark sea. <br /> He goes to find the answers, <br /> And to fulfill his destiny.<br /><br />Yvonne Goss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seas-of-earth-seas-of-space/
