A Little Boy with a Telescope

This is the story of a little boy with a telescope, who one day began searching the Cosmos for answers

A Little Boy with a Telescope

I broadcast on every radio wavelength

But am always met with interplanetary interference

And absolute silence

The Cosmos I roam with my telescope

Trying to prove that I'm not alone

In these bok globules, will I find nuclear fusion?

Or will the gas clouds contain only dark matter?

My heart for many eons has been at aphelion

So these questions' answers I'll forever chase after

Radiation disperses throughout my marrow

Polarizing white blood cells with its gamma rays and sorrow

What awaits tomorrow?

The Cosmos I roam, destination unknown

Searching for the emissions of white holes

In these bok globules, will I find nuclear fusion?

Or will the gas clouds contain only dark matter?

My heart for many eons has been at aphelion

So these questions' answers I'll forever chase after

I am scanning, I am praying

I am searching, I am hoping

I am scanning, I am praying

I am searching, I am hoping

In these bok globules, will I find nuclear fusion?

Or will the gas clouds contain only dark matter?

My heart for many eons has been at aphelion

So these questions' answers I'll forever chase after

Author's Note

Wow, the writing process for this piece was probably the smoothest one I had ever gone through! It only took me around forty five minutes to write these lyrics, and overall, I am very happy with the result. My dad told me that it's not anywhere near my best, but for once I actually think otherwise (though I could be wrong). I'm not going to go into too much detail as to why, but I will just say that I got the beat that I wrote this song too (the beat of Telescope by Starset) down pretty solid with my words for once. Also, there are multiple layers to this piece, but I'm not going to spoil them for you :P. Like I said, I'm am really happy with the way this piece turned out, and am hoping that future pieces will be this relaxing to write (unless it should be tiring, which I feel it should be sometimes). I hope you all enjoy this piece, and I'll see you next time!

P.S. I am aware that if you string all of the space terminology together, this piece isn't necessarily scientifically accurate, but that's not the point. This is meant for symbolism than science. :)

This just took me back to my childhood when I was obsessed with space! I wanted to know anything and everything about it. My parents even bought me a telescope so I could go outside at night to stare at the stars. I remember wanting so badly to know it all, like I needed to know or I wouldn't be able to move on with life. I still want to know... lol. For that reason alone, I love this piece. Like you said it reads really smooth and puts the reader into a place of wonder. Well done :)

I'm approaching 20 but I'm still obsessed with space and want to know anything and everything about it as well! XD Just as soon as you think you'll get bored of learning about it, ya learn of something so fascinating it brings you back to it. I'm really glad you liked this piece Amber, and I appreciate your reviews. :)

Haha at least Philosophy has taught me that it's okay to have more questions than answers. But it is the questions we have about the universe that makes studying these things so fun! :)

[DoormanDan]

Very true! :)

From the looks of it, I'd say you've been reading either Scientific American or Discover magazines. Very interesting. A professor once told me that somewhere out there in space are old radio and TV shows still floating around. I've never heard of white holes before.

I had a telescope when I was young but all the stars I saw turned out to be a blur. :) You write with a unique style, keep it up. I enjoyed this.

I've always been a massive Astronomy, Quantum Physics and overall Celestial Sciences fan. Heck, I have a MASSIVE astronomy field guide sitting in my closet that I look at from time to time, even though much of it is probably outdated (it's from 2007). In my personal opinion, divinity and science can work together, which is one of the reasons why some of my literally "more out there" pieces have sometimes have more "divine" themes to them. Any who, I'm really glad you enjoyed this Relic, and I will keep it up. Thanks for reviewing. :)

Sounds like some of the things I want to ask God when I get there. Valentine

[DoormanDan]

That's definitely one of the themes here. Good eye. Thanks for reviewing!
