TRAVELERS IN TIME

Alpha Centauri, our nearby star,

But Proxima C is closer by far.

Cosmic distance is a relative thing.

Did you ever imagine, stars actually sing?

Elements born at the beginning of time,

From Big Bang’s stardust, a cosmos divine,

Giving lifeforms a chance to thrive and evolve,

Holding great mysteries to discover and solve.

Infinite space may boggle our minds,

Just wait a moment, for insightful new finds.

Kepler discovered the motion of planets,

Laws were established, defining their orbits.

Moving through space at an incredible pace,

Never before have we been in this place.

Our stars overhead may serve as our guide

Pointing ways home, to where we reside.

Quasars, quarks, and quantum mechanics,

Remind us, look close; stay focused, don’t panic.

Stories and myths of creation still flourish,

Telling legends of Gods and heroes we cherish.

Underneath a changing sky, we live amidst the stars.

Visions of figures in the heavens watch over us from afar.

We call Earth our home, yet some have made it sick.

Xanadu is achievable, challenging, but still, quite idyllic.

Years pass in cycles evermore fleeting, no longer prime.

Ziggurats, once born of dreams, endure elements of time.
