Notes About The Poem
This is poem #3 of my Poetry Portfolio for class.
Poetry Portfolio--Touch Heaven
Today I travel through light years to the edge of the universe. I will go past swirling gas giants posing their beauty with colors of red, yellow, orange, blue, and green shifting from one expression to another by their colorful designs. Due to traveling billions of times faster than the speed of light, Earth is at its infancy. Time goes backwards when I move so quickly through space. This includes the universe of quadrillions of stars. Instead of expanding outwards beyond, it is shrinking inwards towards the birth of stars saving them from their inevitable explosions of death. I travel to reaches where aliens circle their star with under a wave of timelessness. So, throughout my travels, they are always there, always the same, always existing as before, non-changing entities of space. Is it heaven I wonder, have I found heaven after all these years? I just want to touch heaven before I die.
