~
the heavens are an alphabet
an alien language set within
the dictionary of the cosmos,
as I search for clues, for clearer
understanding, I am dazzled by
the unfathomable immensity of
letters that vie for my undivided
attention, they beseech me to
decipher their distant messages,
but we are merely children in this
university of space, reaching out
as infants do, arms erect, hopeful
that the teacher will reciprocate,
the heavens are an alphabet from
which we slowly form new words
and tentatively begin to talk
