Night Sky V
JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE
When human beings first eyed the sky
They found schooling in time, night and day,
Month and year, an aid to fruitful living,
Birth of strategic planning and planting.
Constellations, shapes in the sky,
Became guides through earth’s seasons
Named in Latin by astronomers distilling
a thousand namings across the globe.
Eyes grew far-sighted through glass.
Galileo’s telescope putting us in our place
Alongside moon, planets and stars
And galaxies humbling our own.
Now awesome images emerge from
James Webb space telescope
Lending sight of exo-planets
Through man-made eyes seeing infrared.
As human eyes expand their sight
To see beyond our galaxy
We catch the twinkle in God’s eyes
Reflected in sparkling immensity.
