Yearning To Move Beyond The Atmosphere Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Gazing skyward in the afternoon, not seeing any stars,
yet the moon is shyly sitting above, not interfering
with the sun as it goes about its daily business.

Feeding and nurturing earth, keeping us warm when cold,
emitting enough Vitamin D to give us what we human beings
need each day to stay healthy and strong while alive.

Yearning to move beyond the atmosphere, traveling to outer
limits and beyond the sky is a wish silently made by this
mere poet while writing.
