On the edge of waking
From quantum dreams,
Where evolution of galaxies
May not be what it seems,
Can science only stop
For a moment’s silence
Without an explanation,
Just to consider the beauty
In violence of stellar birth
And the endless grace
Of galactic entropy?
/
Where now should we be?
To touch the fabric of space,
Booted and suited,
With an ample handful
Of the dust of dead stars,
Wondering: how many years
Before that which I now hold
Within my hands, becomes life?
Telescopic beauty can amaze,
But armchair astronomy will stagnate,
Like a barren planet without life.
/
Per aspera ad aspra:
Through difficulties to the stars;
Though we have no wings,
We must fly to where we belong,
As we are the children of god,
Forged in the depths of solar fires
With the voice of the universe
Beating a rhythm in our hearts,
The glory of nebula, like a symphony
That still sings to us in our imagination,
Pulling like gravity, calling us home...
