Blue Planet
W ithin my mindI live on a small blue planet.
Everyone seems far away,
No one seems close.
Everywhere is blackness,
Yet abundant life consumes each moment.
I wish and hope
Everyone could see this blue fragile life
Floating in the blacknessâ??
Next time they miss the bus,
Next time they forget to look and smile.
We are floating on a blue dotâ??
We should all be frightfully concerned.
No matter what you think, what I think,
We will always be on this blue dot,
Unless we are the masters of darkness
Or the emperors of blackness.
Look at each otherâ??
Be kind
Stop
Look up
See blue.
That color came from somewhere.
It could be another color if we don’t play our cards right.
Our worst enemies we should hold,
Because even they love blue.
I got this picture through Life in the Present, Michelle Fierro’s blog. It is part of a collection of the best photographs of our planet taken from the vantage point of a typical Space Shuttle orbit – about 300 miles above the Earth’s surface. They are really stunning. And I particularly like this one. I find it peaceful.

Under me peaceful
Over me peaceful
