2The Jewelled Heavens
The shining stars bedazzle me
And weave their spell upon my soul
Each one a jewel firmly placed
On cloth as cold and black as coal
/\/\/\
My eyes look up into the heights
And search the silent realm of space
Are we alone on this great orb?
Are we the only living place?
/\/\/\
Man's enterprise made him reach out
To conquer earth and sky and moon
And Enterprise he named the dream
That he would conquer space – oh soon!
/\/\/\
I wish – and in that moment know
That I am not unique, alone
The jewelled heaven's smile a promise
The unknown shall be known.
