Red Shift

The James Webb Telescope Anchored in its place By the force of gravity In near deep space Looking back billons of years To try and capture creation Presented to the world A strange situation. Billions of years ago Caught in an alien sky An alien space telescope Being used by an alien eye The watcher being watched From billions of years ago Whether they are still there We will probably never know.

thanks ilene. I read that the time periods involved could mean that there have been countless species like ours, but the chance of them existing together is virtually nil. Just thought i'd have a bit of fun
