Joyce Johnson Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Universe Secrets

Within our lifetimes
Man has found a long
stairway to the stars,
and with impudence
has invaded Mars.

The stars have shone
longer than Man
has been around
to admire them.

Stars' secrets
should not all
be revealed.

We should
let them

Shine.
