David Pass Poems

To continue forever in time and space,
This we cannot imagine or know.
For only briefly are we here in this place
Before we find that its time to go.
...

I'm made of uranium, steel and tin
A mass of electronics I have within
I can hear faint sounds of varying pitch
And I can sew with a delicate stitch
...

There's no birds or grass, animals or trees
Volcanic lava makes up the dry seas
The rocks do not change, there is no rebirth
You're one sixth the weight that you are on Earth
...

The universe is running down
From when it once did start.
Here nothing lasts, what price renown
When stops the beating heart?
...

By Carlisle flows the Eden river
Which rises on Mallerstang hill.
It’s lovely country for a caver.
Where there’s a way I’ve got the will.
...

From north to south two small rivers flow
Through limestone rock in valleys green.
The Manifold and Dove - gentle and slow.
A narrow neck of land between.
...

Masters of the air and also of the sea.
Soaring high above or perching in a tree.
Some go no further than one small patch of land,
Others cross the oceans or barren desert sand.
...

The moon orbits us as we orbit the sun.
The planets do too and the web is spun.

A comet is mostly out in the Kuiper belt.
...

Willie, Willie, Harry, Ste.
Harry, Dick, John, Harry 3
Neds 1,2,3 Richard 2
Harry 4,5,6 then who?
...

Galaxies elliptical and spiral ones too.
They're all just part of the cosmic zoo.

Red giants, white dwarfs, blue stars are hot.
...
