Cool images I've personally taken and from around the web

Eww
a poem
When I die,
My atoms will come undone;
I'll be space dust once again.


The wind will carry me;
Scatter me everywhere;
Like dandelions in springtime.


I'll visit worlds and alien moons;
It will be so damn poetic--
Until I land on your sandwich.
