She Was Sky
When she was sky, their eyes held awe and fear
Meek worship of her chariots of sun
To her magnificence, they kneel, undone
On stone's sacrificial alter, revere
When she was heaven, paved in streets of gold
Preachers promised cleansed blood of sin, redeem
Salvation's ladder lift devout's esteem
Confession's coin, price of paradise sold
Now she is space astronauts navigate
Pure mathematical mystery explores
Modern Magellans map celestial shores
Lissome light's infinite answers await.
