Exoplanet

An artist shaped you much like Earth land sphere with blue water, larger girth

otherwise quite similar to it, circling round a dwarfish sun that could birth life

nearly 500 light years from us Kepler 186f astronomers say

they saw your shadow darken stars you have a briefer year, a longer day

not too warm or too cold, sibling planet orbiting in a zone called Goldilocks

far off other world in our universe with water possible for plants and trees

with animal life, perhaps humanoid peers a rock like Earth with gravity

giving us comfort we are not alone your existence not unlike our own.
