The day the Earth stopped
Those in shadow
Could finally see the Universe
Turning

And the ones in light
Had time to appreciate
The full glory of the sun
Burning

We, leaving Earth
For a more hospitable place
Look back at at, forever
Yearning

Leoni, I love this! We should see all the glory before it's too late. I will never forget a summer night when it was too hot to sleep and I observed the firmament above in all its splendor, everything moving in its own orbit within the Whole. The yearning for infinity is overwhelming.

Inspiring!

Love,
Margherita

I like the way you put in to words as one would see life if you were only able for one moment to stand still from this chaotic life and take a look around :-)
