That speck in the telescope
Millions of light-years away
Is actually a star
Several times larger than our Sun
I wonder
What would I look like
In a telescope at the distance of that speck
A microspeck?
A nanospeck?
Invisible?
And the light from that speck
Just now reaching the earth
Was emitted before man ever existed on this planet.
Weird...
Certainly makes for interesting speck-u-lation.

23 1/2 degrees
Doesn't seem like much
Maybe the difference between a warm summer's day
And a cool summer's evening
But it could be the difference between water and ice
Or water and steam
And 23 1/2 degrees using compass and map
Could mean the difference between staying lost
Or being found.
Even more profound
23 1/2 degrees can cause migrations
And celebrations
And fire up the imaginations of
Lonely bards waiting for spring
For long ago a distant impact
Rocked a Young Earth
Causing her to wobble
And tilt
On her axis
23 1/2 degrees.

The moon is spinning
And yet the "dark side" never rotates into view.
The moon and the earth
Locked in a gravitational embrace
A dance wherein Lady Moon
Pirouettes once every 29.53 days
While she do-si-dos
Always keeping her face
Toward her beloved.
It is possible,
With her celestial upbringing,
That our Lunar Lady
Just doesn't want to show her backside.

Yep, she's bashful, and the rumor also is that she has a tattoo!  |
