Possibility. for friend Tate

poem in triplets

Possibility.

 

The universe appears to be

 expanding outwards constantly

At speeds exceeding that of light.

 

Its origin a mystery.

But throughout mankind’s history

We have observed the stars at night.

 

Though early men with naked eye

recorded movements in the sky.

 Which had the power to excite

 

their naïve curiosity

They were convinced that there must be.

Some reason why the stars shone bright.

 

But different men thought differently.

It seemed that there would never be

 consensus as to who was right.

 

But now with new technology

We have gained the ability

To study stars far out of sight.

 

The use of radio telescopes

 can raise and sometimes dash our hopes.

They are in use by day and night.

 

We still can’t solve the mystery,

 are we alone or might there be

Races hidden from our sight.

 

In other distant galaxies

Too far away for us to see.
It seems entirely apposite.

 

That like the early men we try

 to read the message in the sky.

Perhaps one day we’ll get it right.

You are correct in the poem.
We still can't solve the mystery,
are we alone or might there be
Races hidden from our sight.
