Telescope

Everything so distant

Appears so near

Everything so far away

Now seems right here

Eternal possibilities

Such undiscovered hope

When I gaze, aghast and amazed

Through my new telescope

Everything too wondrous

For humans to explain

Everything too magical

For our minds to contain

A Universe that's infinite

A billion hows and whys

When I peer through my telescope

Beyond the nighttime skies

Everything so ancient

Yet shiny new

Everything a mystery

With too few clues

While Earth spins, insignificant

A microscopic place

When I look through my telescope

Into the void of space...
