Seti Poem by Roy Blokker

Seti



Bruno saw no limits,
A God not satisfied
With one experiment.
Bruno was erased
By petty clerics
As a heretic
And almost forgotten.
He saw the infinite
And burned for it.
Ideas in opposition
Find their martyrs
Until their time has come.
Look skyward, Giordano,
At the twinkling inconstant
Stars,
The billion points of light
Where planets orbit suns
Unnamed,
And guide us in our search.
