Chorus:
From the dark regions of outer space.
Around the Oort Cloud, another place.
Streaming across the sky in a whitish gold.
Living as comet souls.
Comets have a nucleus, coma and a tail.
Breaking apart in the atmosphere, some objects can seem so frail.
Scattering the building blocks of life.
Streaking across the sky at night.
And, when it comes into sight.
We realize we are the light.
Chorus
The Greeks referred to them as long haired stars.
Brighter than planets Venus and Mars.
Bringing life to a lonely planet Earth.
Took away death, replaced with rebirth.
And, when it comes into sight.
We realize we are the light.
Chorus
In comet Halley, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon were found.
The same elements here on Earth where we are bound.
Comet Halley and humans have an atomic difference
in elemental makeup of 3.5 percent.
Making life comet sent.
And, when it comes into sight.
We realize we are the light.
Chorus
And, when it comes into sight.
We realize we are the light.
Chorus
Streaming. Streaming.
Streaming across the sky in whitish gold.
Living as comet souls.

This poem has been labeled as Panspermia theory. I respect that other people have differing views on the origins of life and I don't want to get into a debate. Put simply, I have my own beliefs and I respect that other people have their own beliefs, so let's just agree to disagree. Peace to you and thanks for reading.
Please tell me what you think
