Space. Poem by Subhadip Bhattacharya

They say there is God to look after
Also there is this orbit where the earth
Hopefully hangs till future.
Dark space engulfs the surrounding
And the dying body and mind speaks
Of a second chance.
Was it only by chance the world was made..?

Distant stars shine and comets fly
Satellites in limited orbits send messages
Back to earth.
Nobody knows for sure where the earth is heading.
To make earth heaven or to find a new
Planet where we will reside.
One day we will know for sure.
