I peer down the lens
Of an old, timeless telescope.
Flashing with bright light,
The universe greets my eyes.
A vast galaxy spreads out before me,
Shining with iridescent glow.
Spinning orbs twirl freely,
Penetrating the darkness below.
Blinking in and out of existence,
The stars twinkle in the distance,
Glistening with trails of dust.
The incomprehensible beauty fills my eyes,
A vortex of starlight and embers, incandescent.
Never before have I ever perceived
Anything as vivid and magical,
A life changing journey.
