The Astronomical Mighty Maybe

By the time you see me,
I'll be a long since past;
By the time you read me,
Your fortune will be cast.
While I brighten your night
With my twinkling light,
Know that your very existence...
Is but a miracle of might.

Ooh, I like this a LOT, Pidge! I often wonder when I look at the stars how much time has passed in that huge distance it took for the light to reach my eyes. Awesome title, too. Hope to see this placed high, my starry friend!

Hard to imagine when you see a star or galaxy that humanity probably wasn’t around when the light you see left it’s origin, and the star could already be gone, great musing from the best, go super Mo, Cheers David
