The Milky Way
the milky Way
As the moon waxed gibbous
over imitating ponds and lakes,
the night sky’s pearly necklace,
of milk which no thirst will slake -
draws a line of human history -
intrigue leading to discovery,
a depth to be plumbed,
as the human mind pondered
and thought – deduced!
and as science brought the stars so near -
to be seen and studied and mapped,
the human mind lost focus here
on a vague randomness, adapt
how sad, the mind of humankind;
a mind with so much potential!
how sad that the clearer it sees
the more it loses perspective!
