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.
