Telescope your love to me

My planet seeks you out

In this and every other world

Viewed in a blur of stars

Swirled on a blanket void in black

Night glancing back through light

Enchanted twinklings flirt with time

Out for a dance, out of focus, turned inside out

A last glance at history once in the making

As is eternity's way to hold the moment fast

Devices set in motion never stop

Long back and forth looks through lenses

It is only you I see when time begins to bend

Feel you through the universe of truth now spent

Never ending clarity telescoped to me from you

I wait for sounds that are not there

How can it be the present under such conditions

Since I can not see into the past to find a future

Where your system ended long ago before my birth

Before your light could reach the Earth

very interesting closing ...the distances so vast what we see now has long before perished .. intricate metaphor ..love the science and romance entwined ..had to read more than once ...to slow down and savor lines and words ..i like it Earl! nice thinking man's poem (and women of course) ;}

Hi E. Thank yo so much. I'm glad you liked it and got the picture of looking into a past that is no longer there at such great distances and a love that could have been if only she existed past her time to real time.....whatever that is... Have a great day. Earl
