Space
By: Ethan Boileau

Have you ever realized how small we are?
Floating about in the vacuum of space,
In orbit around a giant bright star
Shining its bright rays all over your face.

So vast yet so empty: nothing compares.
Is there life beyond this place we call home?
It could be something that comes from nightmares.
​Maybe it is best if we do not roam.

But people do not like to act that way.
We like to step foot into the unknown.
Curiosity killed the cat, they say.
What is a worse fate than being alone?

Alas! We venture into the night sky,
​Waving this blue and green planet goodbye.

Poetry

"I think it's fascinating how vast space is and how small we are compared to it." --Ethan Boileau
