Michael E. Harris Poet Free verse

The Pepperman and the Future Telescope

I OPENED A GOLDEN DOOR 
TO AN ENDLESS UNIVERSE. 
IT KIND OF PULLED ME INWARD. 
TO THE POINT I FELT DISBURSED. 

UNIVERSAL ENERGY 
COMBINATION MIND AND SOUL.
A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE 
IMAGINATION IN CONTROL.  

AN UNEXPLORED DIMENSION.
I  ALWAYS KNEW TO EXIST. 
MY CHANCE OF MOVING FORWARD. 
I KNOWINGLY CAN'T RESIST. 

A BEING IS APPROACHING. 
WITH A WARM AND GENTLE SMILE. 
THE DISTANCE IS IN LIGHT YEARS.
TRAVELING COULD TAKE AWHILE. 

THIS NEW GUARDIAN ANGEL. 
COMPLETELY ALL DRESSED IN WHITE. 
SHOWED ME HOW TO TAKE A TOUR 
SHOWCASING GLORIOUS SIGHTS. 

WITH A GIANT TELESCOPE
OVER HUNDRED YARDS IN HEIGHT.
THAT IS FIFTY TIMES HIGHER 
THAN MY SHADOW IN THE NIGHT. 

THE LENS WAS REALLY SHINY. 
UNBELIEVABLY IMPRESSED. 
MAGNIFICENT CREATION. 
CURIOSITY REFRESHED. 

I WAS SO INTENSIFIED
IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY. 
KNOWING IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE.
I JUST COULD NOT PULL AWAY. 

IN THE FUTURE YOU WILL SEE.
INCREDIBLE TELESCOPE.
SHARING OPPORTUNITY
TO SEE WHAT WE ONLY HOPE.
