Astropoetica: Ponderings under the Scope, by Peter J. Welmerink

Ponderings under the Scope by Peter J. Welmerink
Peering into ebon void Silver stars Lights of gold Magnified by mystery Microcosm view Of infinite colossus Microscopium Your lens I stand below A miniscule atom Wondering Is this the only human end Do you have secrets Unfathomable to gazing eye Is intelligence within your framework Holding beings Curious like me Microscopium Small and far in black I am amebic In the cosmos shouting My lack of understanding Persistent in your presence Shape of deep seeing lens Scope of all defined My thoughts are of potential Do not disguise my hope Microscopium Direct me through the void I am lonely here Yet I can only guess There is another home Copyright © 2003, Peter J.
