In Time, Forget Poem by Patti Masterman

In time, forget the stars;
Sleep easy then, with nothing on the mind
And flickering time, which never could foretell
The shadowed field of darkness left behind.

In time, forget the earth;
Blue-violet streak within a galaxy,
And sparkling oceans turquoise-like stone
Accede to fiery sun in mutiny.

In time, forget the moon;
Green dare of hope, above a planet's peril.
In time the planet too forgets our place
Remaining frozen ice, of futures sterile.
