The Void by Adam Rutter

Earth is crescent in space

The living planet isolated in this universe

This faraway world recedes

Becoming infinitesimal

Insignificant blue bead

I am lonely in the void

Well written Adam; I wonder if we are isolated? no life has been found elsewhere yet has it?

Powerful last line!

This is great, Adam; it's my favourite poem of yours. Analytical pontificating -- that's what I say!
