Tiny balls of light
Dance through the night –
Ancient creations on display
Hundreds of light-years away.
Their shinning glow
Reaches across the cosmos –
So far… and so close; onward
To the ends of the universe it goes, and goes.
How can this be?
That the age of Eons ago, … I now see –
This distant life that once was…
and yet, now is.
It once may have died –
But, I see it here, fully alive.
Starlight.
Illumine my dark night –
With such hope on high,
That I shall forever live… though someday I may die.
