Dark, vast, stretching into the past,

Goes on farther than we can see,

When planets explode with a fiery blast,

We’re safe on Earth, you and me.

In recent years, planets have gone,

Rock samples provide a direct link.

Throughout history, constellations were drawn,

The vastness of the universe makes everyone think.

I look up to the sky and dream,

Ponder about the stars that gleam,

When I get into bed,

They are watching over my head.

Peering through my window, I’m mesmerized, I stare,

What on Earth is out there?

Supernovas, planets, the occasional asteroids,

Aliens, bacteria, more humans, or androids?
