a work in progress call it poetic astronomy
-- some see in the stars balls of burning gases points of distant light some see in the stars ironclad portents of what must be— some see in the stars a home for a small and careless god some see in the stars subtle influences nuances of nuance some see in the stars naught but equations and rational formulae some see in the stars vast distances to be traversed some see in the stars… --

Most writers see romance in the stars...I also see the stars and planets in unknown galaxies as our future home, Creator didn't make them all for no reason they are the "mansions with many rooms";-)

Excellent write John, I'm looking forward to more...

John,

A fellow Skywatcher, eh? This is magnificent! I love all of the verses, but I had to chuckle at

"...some see in the stars
a home for a small
and careless god..."

My God isn't that way. He hung and named each of the stars. :)

Still, I love, love, love this write--enjoyed!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
