Universe

Do you dream on starry nights
how galaxies expend their light
to show you something of the past
celestial weavers spinning fast
yet slowly coming into view
burning up and ever new?
Do you meditate upon
events which are forever gone
whose pictures paint the speckled dome
above the sphere we call our home
how far and fast the signals came
to tell of stars without a name?
Do you wonder when you see
past planets sailing lifelessly
if there was something we should know
of that beyond or this below
if the light would make it known
that we are small and all alone?
