Shadow Mist

Aloha poets,
     Shadow mist inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!

Cosmic Clock

Teams gather at the new nerve center station
Kindling relationships across nation to nation
To wipe off a premise of impending dangers
Emerge off the premises as if mere strangers

Enter the approach near the bright sun ray
Comet meteor asteroid by night or the day
Magdalena telescope observes night sky
Rocky rubble piles pass earth as if fly by

Holds together by a simple force of gravity
All lives rest upon a rocky space's depravity
Something looks back as calories and cancer
Lack of common language is the tiny dancer

Self replicating breaks down materials raw
To build itself again with only what it saw
Flash from the sky blinded by sun's lovers
Near event horizon new mothership hovers

Fresnel solar mirror sun's heat for near space
Reflects to the approaching with sun's rays
Meteors, comets, asteroids full of scariness
Frozen water, amino acids, carbon bury us

Magdalena searches for nickel-iron asteroid
Telescope observatory peers into space void 
Fresnel lens gathers huge focus of sunlight
Hercules laser beam stands ready in the night

Little jets of gas spew of core frozen CO2
Focused lens, laser beams stand ready on cue
To shoot a hole in a comet for orbit misdirect
Cosmic clock winds down on earth direct hit
