The sky, the stars,
So black, so bright,
The earth, the sun,
So wrong, so right,
The moon, this space,
So new, so old,
Those dwarfs, that hole,
So hot, so cold.
How peculiar is it?
That we sit here to see,
What we long ago were,
Will never again be.
The stars, the sky,
We know, we know,
The sun, the earth,
Don't grow, don't grow,
The moon, the space,
We've seen, we've seen,
The dwarfs, the holes,
Have been, have been.
And how odd is it?
How odd, I ask!
That which we see,
In lights no longer last?
For their suns are dead.
Their light is gone.

Description:
As I was listening to "Space Oddity" the word peculiar jumped into my mind, caught, and didn't let go until I used it. As I was contemplating the possible new data from the LHC, the distances involved when studying the universe and how OLD the light is when it finally reaches us....
This happened. I rather like it, though it's a far cry from my usual style. - Date: 09/18/2008
