Cosmic Trip

Explorations out

Cosmic Trip

Pastel skies collide with waves of atmosphere
Through rockets blast on thunderous gaseous fire 
Hurled away from Spring time madness flowered
Comforts of the Earth revoked

Man owns the universe and all that's in it
Cold has no name in deep space for color

Planets run with rocks in celestial quirks of nature
Through circular asteroid belts designed by black 
Take blankets of dark wrapped in permanent night 
Answer back at strangers who invade their space
Warned to keep a distance from the stars 
 
Electronic noise with lights do not intimidate 
A leap of faith is needed when you travel
Astronauts cover themselves in silver suites
Filled with oxygen and sensors to detect
To step outside the craft into the universe
Outside themselves into the past 

Destinations measured become absorbed  
Stored in the books of knowledge                 
In time it will all be sorted out
Bound to have some meaning this time out

Signals bounce from an antennae reaching 
Calculated at a distance to the nearest stars
To be discovered as they are 
Inclinations on the not so new
So far from home from our perspective
Only a soft beat can be discerned                                 
Words have no sound in outer space
No meaning from the start
Only a murmur of humanity as matter
Sounds a faint echo in the distant heart

This was really, really well put together. The imagaery you painted was a spectacle of delight to the minds eye. The words just reached out and literally pulled me in.
Truly remarkable I have to say.
What a beautiful journery I have just been taken on.
