Fly me to a moon

 I've had a fascination with the planet Saturn for as long as I can remember.  Both waking and in my dreams, I've imagined how frightful yet breathtaking it would be to get a live, close up look.  So now I've gone and written some semblance of a poem about it, and in doing so, have secured my nerd status for all time...


                     ***********************************************************

If I could choose to rise anywhere I like 
I'd awaken on a moon of Saturn

Given one day in an extraordinary place
Set me under that transcendent halo

More frightening or beautiful I could not say
Though I think I would fear to stand

Till I'd gazed for hours unblinking
Along creation's multi-ringed crown

Only a part of me could ever return
Though I'd seem to be home again
