Star Scapes Poem by Christopher Tye

Star Scapes

An infinity of lights reaching across time and space,
How I stand in awe on this cold frosty night,
Looking towards the heavens in wonderment.

Transfixed by such heavenly beauty,
Wondering how many more of us mere mortals,
Are standing around the world transfixed skywards.

Looking across the constellations and galaxies,
Looking for answers to unanswerable questions,
How far can infinity continue.

Am I looking into the past or future,
Are we the only planet full of life,
Will I journey up amongst the stars,
When my time on earth is over.

Will I spend aeons searching for the truth,
Flying from star to star across never-ending galaxies,
Or shall I stand on frosty nights looking up to the stars,
Lost in my grandiose dreams of space and time.
