One poem by Brian F. Kirkham reaches out to me in an interesting way. The poem, "Life of a Star" discusses how the light burning from a distant star comes and passes by and we observe, hoping to see it again the next day. I find this poem interesting because the stars we see in the sky are as they were when the light was emitted, and that could be millions of years ago (depending on the object, obviously). This poem just makes me think more and more about how much we don't know about in space. Just the fact that the information we have of some things is pretty much outdated bewilders me.
