Ironic

On a clear night,
I stare up at the dark sky in wonder.
I think about how all those
huge and glowing stars
can make room for each other in one galaxy...

And I think about how peaceful
the sky really seems.
Because it can't be.
There are black holes,
and stars exploding,
and asteroids raging.

Yet, on this clear night,
everything is as tranquil as can be.

    This is a really good poem...nothing is as it seems...

    And I think about how peaceful
    the sky really seems.
    Because it can't be.
    There are black holes,
    and stars exploding,
    and asteroids raging.

    Thats my fav bit...the rhythm and rhyme is great...Fantastic write!
