Galactic Grandeur Poem by Patrick Czyz

Vast beauty stretches high and wide,
Although nearly empty, it sparks wonder:

Splendid galaxies span on every side.
Light years afar, motherly clouds birth young stars.
Rings of forlorn planets form a close bond
As frozen comets shoot out and beyond
Over an ancient Sun bleeding fire
To warm a small gem of sapphire.
Moons remain true to their spheres,
Even when asteroids thrust them like spears.
Light dots gather in spectacular formation;
So clever, they form mythology's imitation.

This boundless space remains hard to measure,
But now we could value this priceless treasure.
