“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” by Barbara Dube
Telescope, clear skies,
meteors, shower by
Opening eyes
observing-
looking up instead of looking
down,
galaxies & worlds to be found.
Starseed- stardust-
we’re all composed of the same stuff.
Complex & rearranged
everyone unique in their own way.
Looking up into the past
lightspeed hits us at long last.
The government said aliens exist-
UFOs to UAP-
Whatever you need to believe.
Exploding/
imploding/
black hole-ing/
contracting/
dense on the fence of
quantum reacting.
Twinkle, twinkle little star-
how I wonder what you are?
