A Small Dot in Space.

I am a small dot in space

But size aside, I have made an indelible impact on the universe.

Nothing like me has ever been, will ever be – I guess.

I have traversed millions of miles

But I ain't done yet

I have millions more to cover.

I travel in summer,

I travel in winter

In fact I travel all seasons,

At times naked,

At times abundantly covered.

Time is of no essence

I know no such nonsense.

Against all odds

I live forever.

Mortals are those

Who live on my elements.

I have seen many up and downs

I have gone through breath taking upheavals

But nothing was more shocking than that done

Against me by humans.
