Out there!

Hanging above the atmosphere the Hubble telescope
     looks out and back through Creation.
Among the billion billion objects to look at
it makes a faint blur into this






    the Whirlpool galaxy

More incredible, the Hubble patiently gathers light
which started towards us before our Earth was formed
before Buddha, Jesus, or Mohammed
first looked around and wondered

And can resolve the very center of the Whirlpool
and see that which is beyond all language!
This is what is (Is?) there

Coincidence?  Each one must decide.
