Haiku Sequence on the Subject of Astronomy

Seeing the vastness –

We can’t be the only ones

In this universe.


Endless sky-darkness,

Eternal void overhead,

Gravity keeps me.


Lighting the darkness,

Billions of miles away,

Tiny burning suns.


In the endless night,

Streaks of light across the sky –

Meteor shower.


Pre-dawn, all is still,

The grass glittering with frost,

Steely grey-blue sky.


The sun is rising,

Flash of gold on the mountains –

Burning hydrogen.


Sun in the window,

Looking through a spectograph –

Rainbow on the wall.
