Our Earth

When fallen stars stop falling
and silence finds its calling
I’ll leave the ground and find my way again

Auroras fade, their symphonies out of tune
luminous comets flicker out too soon
but I swear I’ll still remember the violet moon

If I could wander back through the cosmos
drift through black holes’ shadows
the violet moon would be my only north

I’d cross every galaxy that swallowed starlight
glimmer past nebulas that burn bright
just to find my way back to its shore

"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.

I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small."

— Neil Armstrong
