Wisps, thin hues,

these feathers wafting
lines of string.
The spectrum in this photo:
what our eyes can see–
a scattered rainbow
on clouds that stretch
through this vast and
spacious sky.
My mind can only comprehend
the domain I call earth.
Could never see that distant space
where lights and orbs and stars
are born. This organism all the same—
do I shine a thousand years away?
