Sight For Sore Eyes

Milky Way dream spots 
and other-worlds engaged me 
this earthbound urchin
science fiction plots might stir
a pure childhood fantasy 

But golden aura 
folks can sense that Christmas treat 
their pearl orb tot craves
“sight for sore eyes tinsel rapt” 
“galaxies galore.” Mum beamed 

My peepers wept dams
at magic flight revery 
cosmic distance bridged
telescope a nod to star 
bright clusters in the heavens 

Family ring glow
spark and madcap stellar oomph
cached image-laden
supernova vault’s gem horde
that souvenir I treasure
