Perseus Galaxy

Staring into midnight sky Vastness brings both fear and hope Millions of light years separate us Visible only with telescope Time’s illusion tricks our eyes As we view ancient history For all we know it’s dead and gone Swallowed up in mystery From Perseus someone stares back Seeing the Earth in different light Dinosaurs and ancient plants Who've yet to meet their final plight Fewer masses of dry land Larger than exist today Mammals yet to dominate To dinosaurs they’re only prey We both exist in time right now But neither sees the current state Time delays warping perceptions Unable to communicate
