Lillian at dVerse Poets invites us to “look up” and marvel at pictures from Hubble Space Telescope…

You, who spins
planets in place
calls stars by name
speaks light into
hot existence
You, whose wisdom
births bright galaxies
weighs gravity’s laws
measures our time
expands space
You alone are
worthy of worship
we, who spin
on watery planet
stare at your stars
depend on light
of dying sun
we, whose
understanding
reflects your image
yet live limited by
gravity, time, space
we bow in awe at
Your cosmic beauty!
