The Moon, Orion and Pleiades, <br />Jupiter shinning past a fading mars <br />Venus is brilliant and trying to please, <br />The Milky Way clouded with fiery stars. <br />A twinkling majesty in black and white <br />An expanding void in the blackest night, <br />Past the shining sun and it’s constant light, <br />Past the galaxies and the quasar’s plight, <br />Hearing eternity and its quiet call: <br />Can a blue little speck, so very small, <br />Shelter all life while the rest are just balls <br />Moving in motion with no life at all, <br />While creating the light that lets me see <br />The meaning of to be or not to be.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-iii-shakespeare-skies/
