A Poem for Saturday: I Wonder Why
April 14, 2012
I wonder why the sky is up, and why the stars abound?
And why the Sun comes up each morn, and why the Earth goes ’round?
I wonder what the Sun on Mars, would bring at dusk and dawn?
I wonder what two moons would say, from Earth lit sky when Sun is gone
I wonder if Mars mountain crags would be a sight to hold?
I wonder if I’d dare to climb, how could I be so bold!
I wonder when Man’s mind will grow, and cease to be so small
I wonder when we’ll venture forth, I hope before we fall
I wonder if we’ll never dare, to reach up through the sky
Forever doomed to live on Earth, and this, I wonder why?

A million questions
For our modern progression
Yet no answers to be found.
Perhaps one day
Not so far, far away
Our feet will be solid on extraterrestrial ground.

For stars without darkness are untold beyond eyes, strewn adrift thus their plight, like an unremembered heart without light.
