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 me<br /><br />Steve Hancock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/somewhere-out-there/
