Carl Sagan Inspired Haiku #1 Star Dust

This Haiku is inspired by a quote from Carl Sagan. It comes from Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. He was so simply eloquent himself. I think I am going to do a series of them.

 Carl Sagan Quotes
"Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can.
Because the cosmos is also within us. We're made of star-stuff. We are a way for the
cosmos to know itself."





We of flesh and blood
See the vast wonder of space
We are star dust too

History Mystery

I know this one is 5-8-5 but I could not justify abbreviating
or substituting another name for Galileo's just to fit into the
line of 7 syllables! I had thought of substituting da Vinci in
there but he is/was thought of as an artist and not a scientist.



Greatest of all time
Galileo Newton Einstein
Its all relative

Sand

Tiny grains of sand
Plummeting through my hourglass
As the days slip by

Ice Cream

Ice cream for breakfast
When cancer is killing you
Its good for the soul

I Want

I want to grow old
Fill each day with new treasure
But I die instead

Who

Empathy is hard
Selfishness is status quo
Who of us is perfect
