The universe is seemingly infinite,
its expansiveness
makes observing a distant star
the same as looking
back at the past
Eventually,
at some point in the grand future,
all stars will have faded
from our midnight ether
No one
in the distant future
could possibly know of
what we have now
We are so lucky
to bear witness to
the beauty of it,
experiencing it all
everyday at night
As they fade from our view
So too will the
whispered secrets
they may know
of our universe
The majesty
of the night sky
billions of years
from now
will be lost,
unseen as they
draw from our view.
