Natural Observatory

Breaking my neck, looking as high as my eyes could see

I watched the sky and it had no blemish or mark

just immense cloudless expanse never before

observed and never again seen with spotless

wonder

The quiet solitary blanket with unafraid beauty

amazed at all of it, like an ocean looking still

no wind or wave

just a sheet of glass ice skating to the endless

horizon

My sense of intrigue went for a sail

off into the sea above with shaking breath

as I break down with tears

streaming from my ache

along my cheeks

staring at the face of God

shining down on me

Making the corners of the universe smile upward

And as high as the Most High

as lovely as the greatest gift

forever imagined looking at the show
