I found a crack in the sky

I found a crack in the sky

At midnight, I looked up
And as usual 
There was stars decorating
The dark blue sea above

But I caught it
I saw a thin line, just north of the moon
And as I concentrated,
I could see what was beyond

I saw the galaxy
The stars, the planets
And realized there were more than eight

And I swore I saw a human
Waving at me
From one of the unseen planets
Up above

I saw more than our solar system
I saw the universe
In its entirety

Its vastness was enough to crush me
Making me realize
How insignificant I really was

Blue, red, orange, and colors I couldn't identify
I spotted them in streaks across the cosmos

Then suddenly I remembered
I was still on earth
And glanced at the earth's sky

It was turning into dawn
With pink clouds introducing the sun

I tried to look back at the crack
But it had closed up

Juliajewls, New cosmos in momentary crack, seen through new eyes. Hope one day to see it return, as depicted so well in your skies. -Richard

Maybe, at midnight, it will crack open again.
