Cosmic Desires

The Hubble of my mind's eye,

The Voyager of my deep-space

Imaginings have taken me

Light years into life’s reality—

To visualize how far we as a

Species have come; how much

More we must explore. Oh, the

Cosmic energies, and the far-

reaching possibilities which lie

beyond. Sometimes I look up

and see all of us telescopically,

Cosmic dust, stars among an

Expanding universe on fire, the

Stuff of scientific exploration,

Exploding supernova stanzas of

The poet’s thoughtful desire.
