The Cosmos

"The Cosmos" The cosmos The unknown universe Concepts so hard to swallow The moon and its luminance The constellations The dancing colors Thoughts without any limitations The sun that provides the summers Space, oh so majestic That stretches to infinity The beauty so magnetic That show’s Christ’s divinity I reach my hands to the heavens Hoping the black inkiness can swallow me up Space goes far beyond my worldly possessions That anchors me to the ground and keeps me stuck. I hope one day, Everyone can see the beauty of the unknown I hope they see the way That the stars and planets make you feel less alone I hope they see God’s love shining through I hope they shout with glee When they see Neptune’s bight, azure blue Oh, how I hope That one day I can see space Not just through a telescope But face-to-face. -e.b.
