potent
such sun, moon, symphony
across the bedazzled sky
a watery winded prophesy
sparing no celestial lie
evidence of births and deaths lay
in the endless sphere scapes of the
scattered universe
matter lost matter gained
matter otherwise traversed
to further plumb the
depth of deep space
takes on new meaning
on such a vast
yet fully discovered
plane
gust gales squabble jealously
to know
the full beauty
of
the rings of Saturn
verses death of lesser stars
man ever always
the smitten one
by the clear miraculous to
the near unachievable
