POEM STARTER
Imagine you are peacefully drifting between the stars. Write a poem about this experience.
Lost in Space
Lost in space and time I roam,
an astronaut far from home.
My ship, my beacon, not in sight,
as I wander this endless night.
I fix my gaze upon the stars
and the galaxies twinkle from afar.
I'm mesmerized, in awe and daze,
by beauty that leaves me in a trance.
The nebulae, a cloud made of dreams.
The supernova and its fiery beams.
The planets spinning like a dance,
all of it a cosmic romance.
I don't remember how I became this way
forgotten my ship, an unwelcome stay.
Still I wish to stay and see
the secrets this universe still holds from me.
Yet as I float by lost in thought,
I know that my time is nearly bought
I must return, my mission clear
I'll forever hold this wonder dear.
My eyes flutter and starts to close,
I feel my heart begin to slow.
The beauty I've seen, the peace I've found
will stay with me, my memories bound.
