Satellite

Silver, gleaming,

Weightless seeming,

Gazing out on new and old...

While Tearing through its orbit cold!

What doth a satellite behold?

Stars shine bright and sail by night,

Atoms crash, photons flash,

-The darkness bite.

Defending Teirm with rays of light,

When there are no gods in sight.

The suns glide on,

Fighting still, a hopeless fight,

Against their foe,

The freezing night.

With all this, though,

It does not know,

That way below the blowing snow,

A polar bear, deep in it's lair,

Is huddled, and with dreams a-glow.
