One Strange Rock

 

I watched a documentary


on TV the other day.


It featured some astronauts


who had spent time


on the International


Space Station.


Taken aback with Earth’s


spectacular beauty


and diversity,


one of them said


looking down at it


from 250 miles above


(and I am paraphrasing him


here), On Earth we look


up at night and imagine


where heaven must be.


From this place on high,


I look down and my vision


of Earth is where, I figure,


heaven is to be found.
